The Polar Express comes to Watkins Glen

Randy was there too.

For all those who needed visual aids.

Emy sledding the big slope.

Night Sledding

Never had been sledding in my life, so Randy and his Dad thought it would be fun to take me out at night and push me down the bunny slope in the backyard. It is my hope that the neighbors did not call the cops from the racket I made screaming for my life. My daughter of course had no problem on the steeper slope that darts narrowly between two trees. In my defense there was no moon or stars tonight to speak of, so I could barely see my feet. My daughter being smaller probably saw her feet just fine, or didn't care to.

Thanks to Popi for these pictures.





















First time I have seen her look like her dad in a picture.

Emy got to ride on Melissa's friend Alisa's (in blue bandana) horse, Little Gentleman (or Gent for short), today over at Grandpa's house.

Deer like to remind us when its time to cut the grass.
















A Mink. They make loud shrieks when you shine a flashlight at them over and over again.

Hiking with Emy

http://counties.cce.cornell.edu/tompkins/trails/sixmile.html

We live on the north side of Slaterville Road; on the south side is a place known as Six Mile Gorge (the link above shows pictures of that hiking area). Emy and I hike there after school (which I do not have any pictures of). But we also went on a hiking trip to a Treehouse back on September 30th and Randy was there to take pictures of that.

Emy's grandparents came to visit.

Columbus Day

We had visitors this weekend, so we decided to go apple picking at Grisamore Farms. They have the best cider in Ithaca (that I have tasted so far). Fall is not over yet.
