It was such a beautiful day today, so we headed out in search of Fall colors, and boy did we find them! There were so many pretty pictures, I had a hard time choosing for the blog. I think I narrowed it down to 11 here, but this is just a sampling.

Silver Fun!
The Special Olympics Regional Bowling Tournament was held Saturday and Seth received a silver medal! It was a long day, but Seth and all of his teammates did a great job handling the waiting. Five teams from across the region competed. Our team took 54 athletes to the event which was a huge turnout for us.
I don't have all of the results yet, but will edit this post when I get that information. It seems like we were pretty heavy on golds and silvers so it will be interesting to see. Everybody had a fabulous time and that is the most important.

As The Clock Turns
Grover and Goni had a garage sale last weekend and Seth was mesmerized with this clock. He wanted to buy it but I did my best to sway him away from it. The "cherished heirloom" hung in the Laseke's house for many years, but they decided it was time for it to find a new home. Unfortunately....er, I mean ..... fortunately, nobody else decided their home was the place for it, so Grover graciously brought it in as a present for Seth. I will forever be in their debt.......
The clock can be set to play every hour on the hour, OR (and this was it's only saving grace), it can be set to play only when you push the button. Also, another very important quality is that there is a volume control. Mind you, in this video the volume is set on approximately 2 on a scale of 10. Can you imagine this playing every hour! Aaagh! The repertoire consists of about 12 songs if Lacey counted correctly. Yes, she did play it many times to come to that conclusion. MANY times!
I suppose I am glad that the clock has found a loving home instead of the garage sale reject pile. Seth can be assured that he will have at least one piece of "furniture" to take with him when he moves out someday. = )
