Halloween, Hunting, etc.

Here are a few pictures of what's been going on at our house.
Halloween was fun. Emma was a turtle and Libby was a pink poodle. They had a blast!
Mike's bobcat finally came back from the taxidermist. Emma asked if I would put batteries in it so it could talk. Libby said it "creeped her out."
Mike and the girls went "camping" in the backyard.
And finally, the girls came down one morning dressed in their swimming suits and asked if they could go to the waterpark. In November.

Pumpkin Carving 08

Mike helped the girls carve their pumpkins again this year. They turned out great. The girls are thrilled! Libby wants a Halloween birthday party.....in April.

KC Trip

So we went to Kansas City a few weeks ago to see some friends and stay at the Great Wolf Lodge. We had a great time! Libby is really into doing things "as a family," so this was the perfect place for us to be. Oh, did I mention we saw my daughter's idols "The Backyardigans" in concert?

I Kissed a Frog (and I liked it)

Found a frog in the park the other day. Had to touch it, hold it, carry it around, and all the other gross things that girls should NOT do!

Pool Pics

Our neighbor and friend, Beth, is the director of our local children's advocacy center in Hastings. She had a photographer come to Lochland this summer to take some pics of kids having fun. She will make postcards out of them and use them as a fundraiser for CASA. Her granddaughter Carly came from Kearney to see her buddies Libby and Emma. A few cute pics to remind me of our fun summer!
