labor-free day

Sunday was a good day. Another compound grill out with most of the family and friends. The weather was wonderful - Autumn was knocking on the door. Leaves are beginning to turn and fall. Midnight and Brownie came to play. Uncle John kept throwing them Fritos. Aunt Re would yell at him. Todd and Joe broke out the Jack and Caffeine-Free Diet Coke.

Gavin's new friend, the grasshopper.

Garrett - I think he is one of the cutest babies ever.

'The Hag' - a duck caller. I almost hid it from Gavin and Ellerie because they wouldn't stop duck calling.

Take it like a chicken! A beer-roasted chicken. It was delicious. Jeff, I saved you a piece.

Me, Ellerie, Babe, and Gavin. He seems to be doing his impression of a mummy. And Ellerie is one of the biggest camera posers.

Oh yes, the fire. It's always a good night when you end it with a fire and s'mores. Thanks to Joey, he is a pyro and can make huge fires. Although, this time my mom started this one.

I know you can't really make this picture out, but it was a full moon. The clouds hid it behind them. It was a chilly night - sweater weather is on its way.
