1st Halloween

This year Halloween has felt like a major holiday, probably because we have participated in more Halloween activities than normal. We went to the Bishops pumpkin patch which was an all day event that included a hay ride, train ride, petting zoo, pig race and a fun slide. We also attended two Halloween parties and a baby costume contest. It seems that everything is more fun when you have a child.

Trick-or-Treat and Happy Halloween!

We had so many trick or treaters, we ran out of candy in less than 20 minutes! I have never seen so many trick or treaters in one place. Our neighbor had his house DECKED OUT, inside (everywhere) like a spook alley and outside like a graveyard. He informed us that a kid had gotten so scared that he peed his pants, poor kid. What I want to know is where he stores it all the rest of the year.

Way to go Mom!

My mom loves the outdoors. In the summer she is usually biking, fishing, kayaking, hiking or trying something new. This past summer she was up at Loon Lake for about a week and took this amazing picture (she was trying to get my siblings and couldn't miss the sunset if she tried). So she entered the picture into a photo contest--and WON! Her picture, called Sunset over Loon Lake, along with many others is going to be published into a book called Endless Journeys. I am so proud of her.
