Boo at the Zoo 2009!

We had a great time at Boo at the Zoo this year. We have gone the last few years and it has always been full, but this year it was packed! We didn't even try to stand in the lines for candy, we just looked at the animals. It was such a beautiful evening, the perfect weather to be outside and enjoying God's creatures!

Looking at the alligator.

Looking at the flamingos.

Look at all those people!

Hello monkey!

He wants his daddy!

THIS was scary for just a minute! Gracie put her head thru the bars to see the bears better and then couldn't get it out!!! With daddy's help she was freed, but I bet she doesn't do that again! I hope she doesn't anyway!

I thought it was really funny after the fact! Leave it to Gracie to get her head stuck at the Zoo! But the REALLY funny part is - Caden tried to put his head thru the bars and it wouldn't fit at all! My baby's got a big head!

This monkey came over to us.

Caden enjoyed watching the monkeys.

The boys.

The girls.

One of Gracie's favorites.

The white tiger was so pretty.

Caden liked him too!

Gracie didn't want her picture taken.

But she liked the worm!

Solomon Costume Party!

We had our annual sunday school costume party this year at the Bennett's home. We had such a good time with costumes and games. My appologies to the McMinns, Lewis', Bursons, and Jennifer for not getting your pictures on here except in the group shot. :) Thanks again Anthony and Erin for hosting a great party!

All the boys.

It's Pumpkin Time!

We made it back out to the DRI pumpkin patch this year. As you can see we got to go on a hay ride and got LOTS of pictures with all those pumpkins! Sorry about all the pictures I put up; I got a little carried away :) I know Mimi and GG will love them!

Going on a hay ride!

The girls

The guys

They thought this dog scarecrow was too interesting.

Say hello Seth.

Caden was not into taking pictures. There were no smiles from him after the hay ride.

Gracie on the other hand is an old pro at photo shoots!

Say Pumpkin!

This one was practically red and all bumpy.

Just a swangan!

In good company :)

I'm ready for my close up!

This pumpkin is too heavy daddy!

We thought he was cute!

What a face, huh?

The GREAT pumpkin, our souvenir!

Thanks for getting mommy in some pictures daddy :)!!
