Halloween Pictures

I had my kids pictures taken in their halloween costumes. I haven't gotten them back yet but you can see some of them at http://shandaleigh.com/blog/. I think they turned out great. As soon as I get the rest I will post more;.

Fishing

Over Columbus day Scott took the family fishing. We went to Strawberry and had a pretty good time. Well, we started out having a good time and then the winds started. The kids each caught a fish and we had caught a trap full of crayfish. But when the wind started out little fishing boat was no match for the huge waves. We were of course on the oppisite side of the lake from the lodge and we could not get back. We ended up finding a little cove with another boat of fisherman, getting on shore and building a fire to keep the kids warm while we waited for the wind to calm down. It took about an hour, then we tried it again, we finally made it across but it was so bumpy and we were soaking wet and freezing by the time we got back to the dock. Logan was convinced that we were going to die.

That night we stayed at the lodge and the next morning the lake was as smooth as ice. So we went back out again, mostly to make sure we hadn't tramatized the kids. Logan and I both caught a fish and the kida again liked the boat and the water.

Black Island Farms

I am luckliy enough to have 2 great friends from college (Monica & Lisa) who love me enough to stay in touch and still get together when ever we can. The first weekend in October we had one of our get togethers and went to Black Island Farms in Syracus. Our kids loved it and we had a blast watching them. We still thing it is strange that we are all married with kids, how things have changed. But we love it.

The kids got their faces painted, slid down insane slides made of hay, pipes, and plastic sheeting, rode on a train made from old water jugs, watched pig races, went through a corn maze, and rode a hay wagon to a pumpkin patch and got to pick a pumpkin. WoW!!








Here we are on the way to the pumpkin patch.



Here is Monica with Colt, 2




This is Lisa with Karmen, 6 and Ava, 3




Aubrey throwing a fit in the middle of the pumpkin patch, She is the little yellow dot in the middle of the field. If a picture had sound you would hear her crying.



Logan with his final pumpkin selection. I swear every time he turned around he saw a bigger pumpkin and he wanted the biggest.
