Halloween 2010 part 2 - trick or treating

Spooky night time shot with candles. Finn's pumpkin is on the left.

Batman, "Spot" and Mummy decorate for trick or treaters.

Pumpkins in the daylight. Middle pumpkin Finn designed at school - love the parasol!

Batman and his pumpkin.

Finn demanded to be Batman in September and convinced Andrew to buy him a Batman pj set. I then had to rush around trying to make and/or buy a Batman mask. But he loved it! And the extra clothes he had to wear for warmth really added to his muscular look!

Scooping out the pumpkin goo. Yummy?

What a gory Daddy.

Getting ready to carve the pumpkins.

At Finn's school's Halloween dance. Finn was rather wound up and "danced" around with his friend Alex the dinosaur.

First family hike

Drawing smiley faces in the gravel. Self portrait?

Birds were too scratchy on his hands - so we put bird seed on his hat.....


In order to increase our family fitness time we decided to initiate a weekly hike with the kids. We started with a trip to Starkey's Hill . The first week we spent most of our time with the chickadees and snacking. The second week we actually finished the whole trail!

Thanksgiving visit with Uncle Tom

Dragonfly park swings.

Accessible swing + super hard pushing from Uncle Tom = awesome fun!

Glacier rocks. On top of "mountain" near dragonfly park.


Watching the Octoberfest parade.
