Holy cow, Batman! It’s time to go find pumpkins to carve!(new painting by Chloe) First stop, the Giant Pumpkin Regatta Take a giant pumpkin (above), carve a boat out of it (below) and race! Paddle, paddle, paddle! My personal favorite was the guy in the inflatable chicken costume. Afterwards… chicken bake for dinner! Step two: […]
A new painting! This is of a candle we bought at a garage sale. Found at Goodwill – a purse made of cleverly folded chip bags.I really wanted to put some potato chips inside it, but Chloe wouldn’t let me.
And here we see the first day of 8th grade. This is the last year of the Swallowtail Waldorf School. We’re hoping to get Chloe into an arts high school in Beaverton for 9th. Stay tuned! Before we headed off to PA, Chloe and her chums went to perennial kid favorite: The Enchanted Forest! The […]
Airplane! Headed to Pennsylvania! Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton International Airport serves Bethlehem – where Peeps are made! (Can you tell?) Hi Mom! It is great to be back. Chloe hasn’t been here since she was too small to stand.Grandpa Hausman, the cabinet maker and high school wood shop teacher built this house.Pretty great to this day! We got […]
Another day at Peck’s Pond! But first, breakfast. “The first canoe built by Old Town Canoe was constructed in 1898 behind the Gray hardware store in Old Town, Maine.” Meanwhile, we uncovered the stone stairs leading to the lakefront and trimmed back the overgrown plants.

Voice actors: Chloe, Dad & Mark Yeck Down At The Lake Directed and filmed by Chloe. Additional voices by Dad. Hot Candy Directed by Dad. Filmed […]
We went to the Pennsylvania German Heritage Center in Kutztown. I goofed up on my research and it turned out to be closed that day. But we got photos! Since we’re Fancy Dutch, not Plain Dutch we don’t know how to actually farm anything these days, but it is part of our story. The last […]
We are at the beach! So, that’s what waves do… Thar be Boogars…
After years of trying, I finally discovered how to get Chloe to wear a hat.You give her $20 for food and tell her she can get anything she wants. Frog. It’s not breakfast without Arnold Ziffel. Star Damage – yes, Chloe got some sunburn. And French toast.Of the two, which would she get again?
While at Ocean City, New Jersey we stayed at The Tahiti Inn. As you can see, this helped feed Dad’s Tiki obsession.The big win for us was being just a half-block off the beach and boardwalk. The waterfall feature is blocked by my hat. Dang!If any tiki fans are reading this, at the south end […]
