Good conversion kicking day for the lad. The Black Bears got a big win for our visit.

Perch Lake Hike

Another 8am hike this morning with a lot less elevation and a nice little lake for a portion of the 4 miles.

Penobscot

Looking up the Penobscot towards Bangor. Beautiful day for a hike.

Open Air Experience

This came in handy for one of us.

We Survived

Top o Mead Mountain

Nice, long and at times technical hike up Mead Mountain. 6 miles with a 900 foot elevation change was a good work out for the legs. We are in Maine visiting Dylan and taking in the Fall colors.

Fresh Air

Karen, Rachel, Mom and I taking in some autumn air and changing leaves at the Minnesota Masonic Home.

Practice

All fun and games at practice until someone get hit with a javelin. No one was hit with a javelin but I'm sure it happens.

Grays Lake

Mornings can be amazing.

Grays Lake

Got up and out before sunrise for a couple laps around Grays Lake. Low 50's at 7am. 88 degrees for our walk along Ingersoll and Grand this afternoon.

West End

Sam and a happy Momma at the boys workplace. This is the quintessential college bar if there ever was one. Fun owner and great co-workers. Nicole and I did not make closing time.

Griff

Got in so early we could have had breakfast at the Drake Diner. We had lunch, available at 11am and we ordered at 11:01. Saw Tim and Steph with Steph's parents there too. Des Moines is a small town.

Early Flight

Was chased by the sun all the way from DC to Chicago and on to Des Moines this morning. Found Tim and Steph at the airport this morning, they were headed to Des Moines too.

Dialing in

Dylan sizing up the competition in last weeks Maine Rugby home game. The season has been a little disappointing but it's a young team and Dylan has played well and scored many points with his foot.

Recovery

Grandma getting some grandkid time last weekend. She had Sam to hang out with the weekend before.
