Halloween Fun!

A week before Halloween our friends Amanda and Rob and Cedar threw a lovely party. The kids had a blast-- and so did the adults. The middle picture is the kids waiting in line to pick their cupcake. Rob did a pumpkin carving demonstration (top left) and also a reading of Where the Wild Things Are (not pictured) Even the adults got in on the costume fun!

  This is the family on Halloween...out trick or treating, and the bumblebees (one transformer, one buzz, buzz)  You may recognize the sunflower costumes.  Russ and Evan wore them first in 2006.

Mini-Golf

As the summer winds down I find myself trying to have as much fun with Evan as I can before he has to start school. I think he'll have a ton of fun at school and be happily engaged doing lots of interesting things all day. But, I'll miss him. (At least sometimes)

So, I thought it would be fun to check out the new, and very beautiful, T-Burg Mini Golf up route 96. It was a bit hot and we were out at the hottest part of the day but he and his friend Cedar had a blast. They kept hitting that little ball until it made its way into the hole one way or another. Cedar, whose father is a hockey fan, used his excellent hockey stance and grip to his advantage. Evan had some rather interesting techniques but we all had fun.
