Chlidren's Museum Fun

Grandma and Papa Nick came for a visit and we took them to the Haunted House at the Children's Museum
 We even earned a patch for our Daisy troop in the process
 And we scored cool 3D glasses to take in all the props in the Time Warp Themed Rooms
 
 
 
 We had lots of fun exploring the other exhibits too
 
Check out Papa Nick Hula Hooping
 And Grandma making music and dancing
 
 We even ran into Peyton Manning :)
 
 
What a fun day - thanks for taking us!

Halloween Fun

We had a fun Friday night trick-or-treating through Mommy's school
 The student council kids dress up and hand out candy
 It is fun to see all the doors decorated
 And what is behind each one - Loved the hot dog!
 We even ran into our buddy Lauren
 Then on to the Gambles for a friends pj movie night
 Thanks to Jenny the kids enjoyed lots of yummy treats and crafts
 We sure love hanging out with this gang - wish we got to do it more often!

Fall Break

 
We kicked off fall break at Great Wolf Lodge
 Always a fun place to go - we love to swim!
 
 And play
 Especially playing tricks on each other in the tree house
Unsuspecting bucket dump
 We even met up with Sammy the Squirrel this time


Our First Trophy

So an unsuccessful season of soccer - 0 wins
 But we got a trophy and are super excited about that!

4H Halloween Party

My little fortune teller and artist ready for a night of fun at the fairgrounds
They loved hanging out with their buddy Addie
And even won a prize in the costume contest - Emily got the most original and Claire got the best overall
And the night wouldn't be complete without a hayride around the grounds
 


Headless Horseman

A night of fun with the Maines at Conner Prairie
Oh no - The headless horseman got Emily's head
 
She returned as a ghost to get Claire's
 
All heads were returned so we could play on the hay slide
 
Hear stories from Holly Halloween
 
Play on the playground
 
Have a dance party with the werewolf
Play some instruments
 
And end the night on the hayride ... only to see the headless horseman again ... luckily he didn't get any of our heads!

Girl Scout Camp Out

We were invited to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway with other troops in the area to spend the night at the track
We started off the night watching a movie with friends
 Then playing some games and reading books in our tent
Unfortunately we woke up to pouring rain at 4:00 am
Our breakfast of champions until we could get inside for activities at 8:00 am (That was a long 4 hours trying to entertain 8 little girls)
Despite the rain, it did clear up a little bit for our ride around the track
 
 
Poor things ended up walking their bikes for almost the 2 1/2 miles
Not as fun as we had hoped
 But then it was on to other activities inside
 
 
 All in all a soggy weekend - but we had fun making some memories and definitely earned our camping badge!
