Way back in May I got caught up on family videos but then I went and got behind again! So here, for your enjoyment and exhaustion, is a collection of ten videos covering events since the last big batch. They are in chronological order. Click each image to watch that video. Once you're watching a video on Vimeo, you can see all of my other videos in a strip across the top of the page so you don't need to keep coming back here and clicking
Enjoy!

Last spring Audrey completed her first big school project. She had to choose a historical character and perform research on the person's life. The final results were a report, a project and a recitation of what she learned. This video is of Audrey dressed as Susan B. Anthony delivering her report on Ms. Anthony's life.

Our neighbor Parker got a slackline as a gift and they had it strung between two trees in their backyard. We added a handline to help other kids learn how to walk on the line. That inspired me to grab a pulley from my climbing gear and turn the handline into a zip line. Scott even had a disc swing seat that made it easy for the younger kids to ride. Viola!
Six months on and the zip line is still in place. Parker was riding it this morning.

This video contains a miscellaneous collection of video from May-August 2012. Some neighborhood activities, family outings, a couple of camping trips, a bit of Tessa, Audrey figure skating and science camp and finally a day at the beach.

We didn't shoot very much video during our Richland and Seattle vacation in July. This video contains the best of what we filmed.

Charlotte likes to grab one of our phones and shoot some video of her own. Her narration is pretty funny. Maybe she's a budding filmmaker!

In early August Audrey attended Girls Rock Camp Boston. The culmination of a week of learning an instrument, forming a band, and writing and rehearsing a song was the showcase. Twelve bands from camp performed. This video shows the highlights of the event and the complete performance of Audrey's band "One More Minute". The song is "One More Minute [of Summer!]".

The weekend after school started in September we headed to norther New Hampshire to revisit Santa's Village. I only shot a little bit of video, but it's fun.

For the third year in a row Audrey and I went to New York for World Maker Faire. Maker Faire is all about do-it-yourself technology, art, invention - what have you. There's always tons of interesting things to see and do. It's part of my plan to make sure my daughters know they can be geeks if they want to.

Come November the trees shed their leaves. We have one large oak and one large maple and we get plenty of leaves from neighboring trees as well. It's become tradition for dad to make a large leaf pile and then the girls have a blast jumping in to it and burying themselves in it.

One of our favorite places in Massachusetts is the Ipswich River Audubon Sanctuary, and one of our favorite things about it is that in the fall and winter the birds there will land right on your hand for food. Audrey and Charlotte are fascinated by it. We were there for a couple of hours today and they told Carol at bedtime that they want to go back tomorrow. We might have to do it!
