Fall YMCA Soccer - October 2012

 Zach getting ready to play forward.  His favorite position.

 Molly looking on...

 Zach on defense this half.

 The grass here is not the same as Utah grass that is for sure.  

 It was freezing this day!




Zach was the newcomer but fit right in.  He also scored most of the goals when he played forward.

Fall is Coming - October 2012

 This is our walk to Zach's school.  I just loved the to watch the colors change.

 The Outdoor Classroom, where students can participate in planting and gardening.  Each grade made their own scarecrow, which reflected what they were learning.
 Mr. Thome's 5th grade class chose Albert Einstein as they were learning about different scientists.



 Another class' scarecrow, a Westside Warrior (the mascot for the local high school).  

The backside of the Outdoor Classroom.  Beans are planted on the left and peppers on the right behind the fruit tree.

Walking Molly in the Park - September 2012

 This is our favorite park to walk through.  Molly just wants to chase the squirrels.

 The trail winds around a pond and people even fish in it.





 The trail opens up to this area that has a bridge across Papio River.  We bike on this part of the trail.

 More pond, but the water is slimy green at this end.  I have spotted a few new birds here such as a Downy Woodpecker, Blue Jay, and a Wood Duck.


 The leaves are just starting to turn.


 Back home.
