What a fun day for a school carnival! Rebecca worked at a booth, so Grandma got to watch little ones. Here's Sparky the Fire Dog!
Kenny wasn't quite as brave around this funny animal.
Big brother always taking care of his little sister. Loved the green wristbands that provided unlimited playing of games. Preferred activity -- the "free" playground equipment.
How ingenious. "Needle in a haystack" game!
Love the bouncy houses.
On July 19, I decided I did NOT want to pull grass one more time from my 8 year old strawberry bed that didn't produce many berries this year. I decided to till the entire bed and planted pumpkins. I faithfully watered these little plants and had so much fun watching the pumpkin patch grow!
Westin and Camden came for a visit a couple of days and we finished picking the pumpkins.
We grew 30+ pumpkins!
A trip to the park.
Last year I bought four little puny $1.88 mum plants at Home Depot just because I wanted a little bit of color at the end of the lane to finish the summer, and never expected them to come back. Well, they outdid themselves and became a huge mound of lavender this fall!
Helping Grandpa!
How one 3 year old named Camden can scamper upon the bed of the rollback.....barefoot, no less!
Success! Grandpa, get him down before we have an accident!
We went trick or treating around the Holton Square! Notice the little pumpkin --- it's a hand-me-down and the first one to wear it was Christi Ellis Jung! Aunt Marilyn was the creator.
The Hulk was checking out the pumpkin stem......right before he lost his balance and did a nose plant on the cement. Thankfully his mask protected his face from what could have been a very nasty fall.
Mr Batman on a mission.
