Oma, Opa, Jim, and Lynne joined us for the feast.  We are now all stuffed more than the turkey!

Our Underwater Adventure in Maui, Hawaii.

Paul, Jeff, Maggie and I did a dive off the coast of Lanai in Hawaii. We took a boat out for 45 minutes and completed 2 two tank dives there. One was the reef and called No Name and the other was known as Cathedral 1. The reef was rich with sea life and the cathedrals were beautiful lava formations. The pictures of the cathedrals were not so good because of the light.  The next day we took everyone out to Molokini Crater and the Wailea Reef. Liza, Myron, Chris, Sean and Liz snorkeled and Paul, Jeff, Maggie and I scuba dived. Myron was sick with bronchitis so he could not dive. We all saw marvelous creatures. We saw white tipped shark, octopus, eel, a frog fish, trumpet fish and many colorful butterfly and angel fish. It was a terrific 2 days!

Autumn is coming to the Triangle.  Leaves are falling off the trees and the temperature is 62°F.  But we still have clematis, hibiscus and bougainvillea blooming.

Saturday Visit to the North Carolina Museum of Art

The Museum had a family day - so of course we went with Lynne and Jim.

We photographed them in a blank frame:

And Anna just HAD to do a self-portrait (with the help of a clear piece of plastic on a mirror).  She was the oldest "child" at the tables!

And then there was a mirror with a side-mounted camera attached to a computer.  If you looked into the mirror you could "interact with the "smoke".  The result was other-wordly.

And then, before we left, we did a family portrait:
