Halloween

For the first time in 4 years, we had great weather leading up to Halloween and it was so nice on Halloween itself that the kids didn't even have to wear jackets!

Graecyn was Wonder Woman and Cody was a firefighter (Eric went all out to build him his own fire truck!).

We squeezed in as many halloween events as possible.

We went to the downtown Auburn Hills trick-or-treat with Graecyn's friend Elena.

We went to the downtown Rochester trick-or-treat and Greacyn's preK trunk-or-treat with Graecyn's friend Callie.

We went to Callie's Halloween party, Graecyn's preK Halloween party, and, of course, trick-or-treated in the neighborhood on Halloween.  We have enough candy to last until next year!

Fall Fun

We had a fantastic fall...the weather was great and we were able to squeeze in as many fall activities as possible.

We celebrated Eric's 37th birthday (Sept. 10) and Anna's 14 birthday (Sept. 25).

Brian, Rachel, Anna and Abbie came for a visit.  We introduced them to the Michigan Renaissance Festival where the girls got their faces painted and we ate yummy turkey legs.  We also took them to one of the many local apple orchards where we picked apples, drank cider, and got donuts.

Eric, the kids, and I went to a local farm where Graecyn got to ride a horse, pet a calf, and milk a cow.  We even got to go on a hayride to pick out our pumpkins.

Graecyn had a gymnastics showcase where she got to show us her great gymnastics skills.

And, Graecyn got to go to Disney on Ice with her 2 best friends, Callie and Elena.
