Spooktacular!

We enjoyed the evening at Conner Prarie with some halloween festivities
About to embark upon the haunted hayride - wonder if we will see the headless horseman?
Sitting close to dad just in case ...
 Ahhh - he found us and chased us for awhile hoping for one of our heads
 
Oh no - he got Daddy's!
And then daddy came back as a ghost and got mommy's!
 
It ended up being a really fun family night!

Farewell my friend!

Our friends the Wilsons came to visit before they embark on a 2 year journey to Uganda.  They are moving there to help a group of 33 orphaned children.  They truly are incredible people!
 It was lots of fun to catch up and give the kids a chance to be crazy together - my how our lives have changed since college!

Movie Night

The girls had a blast at their school movie night
While they enjoyed Madagascar 3 we got to go out for a relaxed sit down dinner!

FALL

Emily and Claire had their first school field trip to the pumpkin patch
 Then they did all kinds of activities with the pumpkins they picked and decorated them at school too
 Molly enjoying some fall fun too - she loves to eat the leaves and probably would like to taste the girls' pumpkins too!
(Hence the short chain in the front yard)

More Fall Fun

We went to the Potter's Bridge Fall Festival
The girls enjoyed the crafts
 And listening to music

Conner Prairie

Checking out the hot air balloon at Conner Prairie
 Daddy and Emily taking a pretend ride
 We enjoyed checking out all the old houses and talking with the locals
 There were lots of animals out and about - this sweet donkey was our favorite
 The new baby goats were really cute too
