After archery we tried air rifles. None of the kids had tried that before either. It was a favorite and both Nicka and Riss were crackshots. Now they are both eager to try hunting.

It turns out Riss is quite the archer; she hit a bulleye 5 out of 6 times!

We had a gorgeous, sunny day, but it was only about 58 degrees, which feels fine in the sun, but in the shade or if the wind picked up it was chilly. One thing we had never tried was archery. Cap, Nicka and Riss all tried it out.

Norlee enjoyed getting chauffered around in her stroller. Our flattie guests got tired of walking and hitched a ride with her.

We live near Sherburne National Wildlfe Refuge. They recently had a Wildlife Festival that we attended for the first time. It was GREAT! Here we are all checking out different furs: Red Fox, Gray Fox, skunk, squirrels, raccoon, beaver, and otter.

Flat Ducky comes outside too and while they are looking around they spotted a Great Blue Heron in our pond.

Flat Billings Bear joins Charles outside for a look at the brilliant fall colors.

Beautiful fall colors in our backyard. We had a chilly night and woke up to frost on the ground and mist rising from the lake.

At the 20 yard line Flat Dude, Wamponoag Maiden and Flat RC cheer NickaBob on. AND they WIN the game!

NickaBob plays football for ZM Columbia. He brought some of our Flat visitors to watch the game.

Flat Dude gets a piano lesson. He already knows how to play guitar and was interested in trying something new.

Games class was definitely a favorite! Big guys, little people and even flatties like to play Trench, Dodgeball and Kickball.
