Patrick watched the plays intently as they warmed up. He was very focused.
Patrick and Elizabeth were excited that Sarah Jane and Will (and Mark and Amy) came to the game also. Brian took the boys on an adventure to the top of the dome where they danced their little hearts out. The girls danced in the aisles and had fun playing. Since it wasn't a crowded game the kids had the run of our section.
The cubs were so cute. They were curious about us and came over to investigate. They make the cuteness noises. It is called chubbing, and they do it to communicate and when they are happ
There's an 800 pound tiger behind that door! Toma kept pacing and putting his face in the window, then walking away.
And Will came nose to nose with him!!
Toma is a huge beast.
More counsinly love.
I didn't even know the vulture did this. He was walking around with his wings out stretched the whole time we were watching him. It was wild.
It's always all about the lions. Patrick LOVES those lions.
It was cold!!
Lots of good loot (except for Almond Joy - not one for mom to steal!) weighing Liz down.
Handing out candy is just as fun as getting it!
:) Cousinly love.
Liz the butterfly :)
A class picture for the yearbook. Mrs. Wiley was a Fairy Catcher. She had already caught lots of fairies, but was on the look out for Tinkerbell.
Our proud marcher. The parade was great. It was surprisingly long. I am surprised that Liz made it the whole route. If we were with her she would have been on Brian's shoulders.
Ms. Buso was a scientist!
Here comes Darth Vader - watch out!
After the parade Liz's class continued their party with treats, cider, and a whole kindergarten Halloween movie!
We went on the pumpkin walk at Beaver Lake this year. This is the only picture I took - LOVE IT! The walk was a ton of fun, although next year I think we will go on a Thursday. Friday was jam packed.
We did it all, played in the hay maze, went pumpkin hunting, played in the corn, saw the animals, stared at the old lady, and ate donuts. Great morning!!
OMG - he is old enough and big enough to want to do the wheel barrel and able to do it by himself.
And, he was pushing it with stuff in it too!
In search of the perfect pumpkin. It was really hard this year (bad crop I guess).
I think Liz thinks the pumpkin will come to her.
Great picture, huh.
All the barn kittens around were a big hit. No, none of them are coming home.
Corn to play in! Again. It's the best!
We got there early. I knew it would be crowded since there was no school and the bees would come out as the day went on. Pat and Liz ran off to see the animals. Pat was totally impressed that there was a bull this year.
She's always got the pose lately.
Getting ready to fly off the hay.
Playing in the corn is a huge hit.
Feeding the animals, or getting food and dumping on the ground in front of the animal, is a hit too. The kids just love the Hollow. We came back a few nights later with Dad and the kids played until they closed. We found out that the family that owns the Hollow has a daughter in Elizabeth's class. She ran with all the owners kids, even helping with the end of the days chores, and loved it.
