Apple Picking

A couple of weekends ago we went apple picking with the Marleys. Tommy loves hanging out with Jonah! Here are a few of our favorite shots:

All tuckered out after a fun day....

Trip to Marquette

A couple of weeks ago the Dubows made a trip to Marquette to visit Aunt Molly, Grandpa and Grandma Dubow. It was a great time....here are the highlights

• Visiting the Jolly Six Pence (Captain Tom's boat)
• Seeing Aunt Grace and Cousin Nick
• Taking Tommy to a kickin playground in Marquette
• Eating some soft serve
• Hanging out with the fam
• Participating in the fall harvest

Here's some pictures from the trip

Game of Skills

So here is the highly anticipated video of the Lake Wallenldfjalfdjpuck Game of Skills. Joe originally had planned on editing the video (chariots of fire music, slow motion replays, etc...), but he could not change the video format to fit his computer's video editing program.

The game of skills was a contest between Joe and Connor where they had to compete in a multifaceted (running, swiming, chugging beer) race with the winner gaining rights to the master bedroom.

Joe thinks the race was close...Judge for yourself

Enjoy

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....
