Halloween

About to head out. I am wearing a hat that belonged to my great-grandmother.
My vampire father & princess daughters.
Last stop for candy. Opa was very generous with his candy.

Fun with Opa & Grandma

Check out this fun restaurant we found by Opa & Grandma's house. While we waited for our food, we could dress up in princess dresses!!!
A tour of the Woodlands - by trolley. Grandma & the girls.
John & Opa.
Although everyone enjoyed a spin on the carousel, John was especially excited as it was his first time.

Fall Fun

John hanging out at the apple orchard.
The girls after stuffing a scarecrow.
Sometimes, when he needs something extra delicious, John will eat something off the floor. This time it was a blue crayon. You can see some of the color on his shirt.

Swinging With John

A fun day at the park downtown. Kate gives her brother a push on the swing.
As usual, the cry is, "higher, higher." So, Kate has to take a running start.
When Kate tuckers out, Sophie takes a turn.
Back on the homefront, John keeps a watchful eye on the front yard.

Meeting Friends at the Zoo

Our sweet friends moved out of town in January, and we only get to see them every now and again. Yesterday we met at the zoo in Asheboro.
Jenn, Elliott, & my girls are checking out the elephants.
The kids try out the bed in the explorer's tent.
Poor John is stuck in the stroller all day instead of playing explorer like the rest of the kids.
Sophie & Owen study the chimp. Elliott later smacked the window next to one of the other chimps who hit the window back. After this, Kate kept her distance from any primates.

Kate Photography

Some shots Kate took on a recent trip to the zoo. For a 4 year old, I think she's pretty good. Not that I'm biased or anything.

(I see I am quite the imposing figure from a 4 year old's point of view.)
