Farming in the U.P.

While visiting Grandpa and Grandma in Marquette Joe, Amy and Tommy participated in the fall harvest (aka - picking peas, beans, potatoes and tomatoes from Grandma Dubow's garden for dinner). Grandma's garden produces so much food the government is going to pay her to stop growing string beans next year.

Here is Molly, Grandma and Grandpa shelling peas (or is it de-shelling peas)

Check out the cucumber Tom is holding

Tommy's First Haircut

Tommy went to Snip-Its yesterday for his very first haircut. He did a great job...no crying! He looks like such a handsome little boy now! Here are a few pictures:

We started out with the Donald Trump Comb Over look:

Then we let the Snip-Its lady work her magic:

Look how handsome!

Lake Wallen-how-do-you-pronouce-that

Over the Labor Day weekend the Dubows headed over to Lake Wallenpaupack in Pennsylvania to hang out with Brent, Connor, Jackie and Noah. It was a great time. Here are the highlights

• Staying in a very rustic (aka cheap and not quite clean) cabin in the Promise Land on Friday
• Staying in a great cabin on the lake (with boat docks)
• Hanging out with great Friends
• Watching Tommy and Noah play - This was the first time they actually played with each other. They were a bit more tame then their fathers.
• Game of Skills - To be discussed on a later post
• Hanging out on the Pachangas (The Boats of Brent and Connor)
• Great Food - Omelets, Pancakes, Steaks, Brats, Burgers, Salmon - yup, we ate good
• Not Camping

Here are some pics from the weekend....
