Super Heroes

My friends and I decided to dress as super heroes for Halloween. My new partner in Government is dressed like Chewbaca. He isn't standing on a box -- Chewy is really that tall.

Howl-O-Scream

We went to Sea World this weekend to see what all the spookiness was about. There were skeleton pirates everywhere.

The park is supposed to get really scary after 6 in the evening. We were there in the morning when most of the costumes were fun and sparkly.

We've never been there when you could actually feed the dolphins.

JD fed them but they moved away too quickly to really get a good picture of them.

Here we are as cowboys.

If you have girls you might be making butterfly wings for magic wands for Halloween. Not JD - we made brains in a jar to give to some of our favorite teacher friends.

Trunk or Treat

Jack Sparrow loved the trunk or treat party at church. He got a chance to play with friends and pass out candy to all the little goblins.

Camping

Our family spent the weekend camping with Cub Pack 535

We went out and set up our campsite on Friday night.

There is a burn ban in effect which meant no open fires. That didn't stop JD from trying to make his favorite camp food.

Saturday's activities included bird watching.

Scouts also made a biodegradable bird feeder.

We hiked to the falls but I think a better name right now would be "ROCKS." Our record drought means there just isn't much water in the river.

Sunday morning's outdoor worship service was our last activity. We should have church in a lawn chair every Sunday. When we made it home Sunday afternoon George and I both decided our entire bodies hurt. Camping is a lot of work! The next campout isn't until April. Maybe I will be rested by then.

Fire Truck

These Tiger Scouts had a great time visiting the fire station. JD got to "drive" the truck and turn the flashing lights on and off.

Football Friends

It has FINALLY cooled down enough for JD and I to brave another football game.
JD had his picture taken with some of his high school buddies Buster the Bulldog and Noah.

Ahhhh, you've got to love Texas in the fall.

What a Boy

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas -- at least at Sears. I tried to talk JD into setting up the Christmas tree over the weekend. He wanted to do Halloween instead.

Outside the Chinese restaurant JD REALLY wanted me to take his picture picking the nose of this statue.

National Night Out

JD got a chance to drive the fire truck at National Night Out.

Oct. 1

October 1 means the beginning of JD's favorite season -- Halloween. We carved a dracula pumpkin and made ANOTHER trip to the Halloween store. JD begs to go to the store and then can't decide if he wants to get up close and personal with the zombie babies.
