It's that time of year again.....

And then we flew East.....

Blogger is not allowing these pics to be placed in order..... The Labor Day parade in Newtown is a very old tradition  and we wonder who will carry on the family tradition now that Mason is a Senior.   He is in the forefront (note that his grandfather, grandmother and mother are on the sidelines.)...Good job photographer (also known as Jon).

   The West Point Labor Day concert is a favorite.   We've been going for many years and the concert, the outdoor venue and the fireworks are memorable.  

We did our favorite walks.....Murphy and I did the paved  trails in town while Paul and Jon flew overhead in a plane smaller than I'm comfortable with.    I know it's something they really enjoy and Jon's membership in a Flying Club allows them the use of several planes.    

And then we did the forest trails......rocky, hilly, shady and humid.    But not too buggy altho Murphy did get stung by something when he stuck his nose in a burrow.   

 It was a great weekend and somedays I really miss the New England vibe but then we come back to the mountains and  feel  blessed to be able  enjoy both.
