THE BIRTHDAY

THE PARTY

Although most of your actual birthday was spent at school, we hope your evening was worth the wait. Your grandparents surprised you by driving up to celebrate. We ate one of your favorite dinners – tacos. We had birthday cake – yellow cake with dark chocolate frosting. We opened presents and enjoyed time as a family.

After school the next day you had a party with friends. Some laser tag, mini golf and other games at Adventure Zone, pizza, Iron Man 3 movie and a sleepover. Pancakes and bacon for breakfast. What could be better?

Happy 13th Birthday!

~Mom, Dad & Sophia

Port City

I brought my camera with me to work on Friday in the hopes of stopping by Bayfront Park at some point to see the hot air balloons at the Balloon Festival. Due to weather conditions and a crazy work day, I never had the chance to see the balloons or even make it away from my desk. I did stop by Canal Park on my way into work to take pictures of a ship sitting out in Lake Superior. There was wonderful morning sunlight on the ship as I was making my way to Canal Park, but by the time I got there, the gray skies took over.

As I was leaving my office much later that day, the dark clouds of the morning were overtaken by bright sunlight. This ship was just going out of the harbor as I was headed home for the day.

The beautiful sunshine stayed for most of the weekend as we ushered in fall. I can’t wait to get out and capture some of the autumn colors in the coming weeks.

Wildlife

Sophia and I enjoyed the last weekend of “official” summer with a walk/bike ride. We brought Daphne with so that she could enjoy the warm weather too. The forecast of 71 degrees happened early in the day. It cooled off later in the afternoon and then the rain began during the evening. We spent an hour or so enjoying the weather, picking up fall leaves, acorns and other items for Sophia’s craft project. We also enjoyed seeing some of the local wildlife. No bears this day, thank goodness!

The first of the wildlife was a pair if deer in a yard about a half a mile from our house. This doe was rather curious and watched us for a while before bounding off into the trees.

We saw a group of ducks including some nearly full-grown ducklings. The colorful feathers on their heads had not filled in yet.

We also saw this heron standing completely still in the pond.

When the bird had enough of our picture-taking, he/she flew off.

When we went around to the second pond, we saw him/her again.

The geese spotted us and made their way over across the pond looking for hand outs. We forgot to bring food with, so they lost interest after a while.
