Dickieville

Dickieville, July and August 2005

As summer falls behind us and fall begins it's colorful and brisk transition into winter, here's a few shots of what we did during the kids school break... which wasn't much of anything. The kids did 3 days of tennis camp each week, and hung out for the rest of the time. But we did have a few items of note.

Bill and Janet Garber stopped for a visit after a church conference in Saint Louis. They were planning on returning home for a week, having tickets to a number of operas, then fly out to Greece. No moss growing under those toes. Unfortunately, Bill caught a bug so they had to skip the Greece trip.

While they were here we went to see the Fruitlands museum, a quaint collection of buildings that display a variety of shaker, Native American, and other historical items and art, and we did the annual fourth of July celebration in North Acton Recreational Area (NARA)

We did a day trip to Six Flags New England, doing a few rides in the morning, then spending most of the afternoon in the water park, then returning to the rides. And, since I have the space, here's a cool butterfly on our front path:

We had a visit from Kyle and Shirley and their children, Ethan and Dana. These shots are from the pool party at Bill's house.
