Good Times with Great People...

This day was also filled with atv rides through the literal jungle to get to these sink holes. Last hole we jumped 30 feet down- hence Doug's Mark. Cave area was 15 foot jump with swing, hammock, and zip line. These pictures speak for themselves : )

First Trick or Treat

Because everything is weird and different back home, we had an early trick or treat at the campground. We had to bribe Hadley to get ready for it because I woke her up in the middle of a MUCH needed nap. She is obsessed with Horseys because of the Merry-go-round at the zoo...so luckily my co-worker had a horsey costume for us to borrow. TOOOOOO sweet. Yes, she is eating a brownie....we had to BRIBE her.


So we left my parents house with this costume on Hadley....it was over 90 degrees outside.


Mae was a butterfly, a beautiful butterfly.


Being a big helper, she wanted so badly to get Gweny around as Foofa....


This was the outfit we settled on, a princess. A princess who had never really trick or treated and like always could NOT focus. Getting behind non-stop.


Hadley decided to help her self to the baskets. Too sweet and sometimes embarassing....one was just not enough for the princess...


The heat got to the girls. Not even an hour later and everyone was in the wagon completely exhausted...or costume-less (Gweny)

My Godson, Mason, was a future Buckeye football player that slept through the entire experience!



My other Godson, Evan, or Woody was SPENT....red cheeked and TIRED!!!



I forced the kids for a group shot...Luigi is Stacy's nephew, Corbin.



Then I attempted to get Gweny in the shot which didn't really work because she had no ability to focus- seems to be a theme for my children :)


Overall it was a great day, trick or treating in the heat is definitely different.

Gweny Loo Loo

This girl is in her own world right now. Just learning, developing, and exploring. She is always changing. It's sometimes frightening how quickly this is happening. She is so amazing. Apparently she has a fascination with slides....this one at Grandpa and Grandma's is really high. Hadley just figured it out this year....Gweny, well she just decided she would go ahead and climb up all by herself :)







She is so grown up.....



She is the champion of getting into a pickle. Obsessed with bouncey seats no matter what or sometimes who is in them. She started whining at my parents and when I found her this was what she was doing...




Some people got the accident picture on their cell phones, but a few weeks ago we were on a wagon ride which Gweny decided to stand up on. Followed by me slamming into a bump and her FLYING forward smashing her forehead. The black eye came a few days later and stayed for well over two weeks. A little girl with a black eye....did I get my tomboy?!?!?!?!?





Great shots of the eye and what we deal with at dinner every night...



Gweny has started walking...two weeks ago she took her first steps and now she takes them when it's convenient for her. More frequent everyday and soon she will be a cruising toddler.
