Horse Races

That time of year again, we got babysitters and hit the big bad town of Ottoville for the annual horse races. Every year this gets more and more fun!!!!!!!
 
Bri and Cyle joined our crew this year...
 


As did Tom and Julie...


Of course this guy went home sick last year and this was his first time all the way through the races!


Jess proudly riding, but with no victory this year.


But Doug's not mad!


Bri gave it a whirl. NOTTA....


Man did she try though!


Sisterly love.


It was a family affair!


Sooooo much fun, probably because so much alcohol was consumed by our table!


And because Bri and Cyle were along we ended up at one/ two local bars! Man oh man!





Me and pops :)

Trick or Treat

This year we got to trick or treat at the local campground again. It's early in October, our luck a ninety degree day?!?!?!!? So we busted out all the costumes I normally turn down because they aren't warm enough and they were perfect.
 
Our third and final foofa. Note she looks thrilled.
 

Emery Fire is our very own Gwen as a super hero (combo of course spiderman/woman skirt and superman belt for emergencies!)


And matee hadley. Love the toothless look of this here pirate.


Of course IMPOSSIBLE to get them to all pose, but regardless I try.

And try.


And try.


I give up.


Love these two pix in a row. These two hung in the wagon while Doug and I took turns pulling. Because it was so hot they didn't last more than like twenty minutes which was FINE by me!


Parker looks like she said something so darn funny!


How can these girls be this old? Mae as the southern bell, Hadley the pirate gal, Ella the mermaid and Gweny the super hero. Nothing but trouble here!!
