Getting Ready for Fall

Audrey helped us to make our scarecrow this morning.
Later we went to the mall to play. She really had a great time on the slide.

Going to the Zoo with Audrey

We had Audrey this weekend so Scott and Karin could attend a wedding in Pebble Beach, California. On Friday we went to the Zoo.

Fall Colors in Sedona

We have really been blessed with seeing great fall colors this year. First in New Hampshire and Maine and now in Sedona. We spent a long weekend up there and sure enjoyed it.

It turned hot this weekend so we hiked in Oak Creek Canyon on the Harding Springs trail up to the top of the rim. The colors were great especially in the deep side canyons.

Tucson Wildlife

This week we had a visit from a large bobcat and a coatimundi. Andy was able to get pictures of both.

Visit from Jim & Mackenzie

Jim and Mackenzie flew over this weekend for a visit and a chance for the the two cousins to have time to play together. They had a great time as you can see.

Water play is all ways a great hit

Bar Harbor, Maine

As long as we were this far back east we decide to spend a couple of days in Bar Harbor before coming home. This is the Quimby Inn. We had stayed there before with our Kayak Group when we did the coast of Maine and liked it so much we came back.

We spent a day biking the carriage roads in Acadia National Park. These roads were actually built for carriages and are great hiking and biking roads.

Here we are after hiking to the top of Mt. Champlain.

Beautiful views on the way to the top.

We kayaked on Long Lake on our last morning.

Highland Lake House

After a 25 mile ride today we arrived at the Highland Lake House. It was right on Highland Lake and the German Innkeeper was quite a character.

This was on the Northern Rail Trail. We got to ride on this for about 6 miles this day and another 6 miles the next day. They are finishing off sections at a time and it is super hiking and biking through beautiful areas.
