Camping with Grandpa V
Right at the end of the summer Grandpa VanDuyne and I took the girls for 2 days of camping at Turkey Run - okay more like cabin-ing. We did some cannoeing, hiking, swimming, pony-riding during the day. In the evening we played board games and had a camp fire.
Misc Fall Update
First day of school pictures:
We went down to Benton, Illinois to watch the eclipse in the totality zone. The pictures don't really do it justice.
We can't forget the street ballet show. The flight of the bumble bee was playing in the background, but my phone didn't get that.
We also took the girls (and the dog) to their first drive in movie.

Halloween 2017
So, it's not Halloween yet, but honestly I'm just going to post what I have now since I'm here. First the annual Curtis Orchard shot.
Then some pictures from the church's Halloween night with Professor Trelawny, a Ravenclaw and a Hufflepuff.

Daddy Daughter Dates
I've been taking the girls out for one-on-one dates on the weekends I'm not in West Lafayette. We've been having a good time.
For the first one I took Abby to a Mexican restaurant. It didn't have a fabulous start. While I was reading the menu she shot her straw wrapper at me. I didn't see it coming and it hit me right in the eye, somehow managing to tear my contact in half. So five minutes in to our first date I'm in the bathroom trying to flush a random piece of contact out of my eye, while Abby's feeling pretty bad about the whole thing. We had some fried ice cream later though so all's well that ends well. The drive home was interesting
Two weeks later Nora and I went to a 3d printing lab for a workshop on making fidget spinners. The whole time Nora was convinced I was doing it wrong. Every time the instructor would take a break and ask if anyone needed help Nora would shout out, "Ours is wrong, we need help!" And every time the instructor would tell us we were fine. We we finally went to print it though it wouldn't work though. Whenever Nora tells the story she neglects to mention that none of the 20 printers were working that day, not just ours. We had fun anyway.
We've done some other things, including a bike ride and a picnic. Hopefully we're building some good memories.
