Fall Fun

Fall means 2 things: Halloween and changing leaves. We finally got both! Last Friday night we had a small Halloween party at our house with some friends. And wonder of wonders: Ben agreed to dress up in a costume! Here's a few pics from the night. I'd have more, but Ben was assigned to camera duty.




















Ben as "The Road"
















Anita as "Blackmail"
(In the background you can see my neighbor, Amber, as a polygamist.)
















Connor as a bumblebee!















Olivia as a traffic light with her two friends: Hannah Montana (Tabitha) and the cheerleader (Sydney).















Okay, Kelsey was actually a Christmas tree again this year, but we didn't get any good pictures of her in costume. However, Ben did get this fabulous one of her with some fake vampire teeth. Frightening, isn't it?


So that was our Halloween. The next day (Saturday) we spent some time at Hafer Park. This is probably the biggest city park in Edmond, and we got some more great pictures I just HAVE to share!















There was this huge cement rock-climbing wall at the park, and Ben helped Kelsey to climb it to about our eye-level. Then we told her to hang on so we could get a picture. Her look of distress was just adorable! She's telling us she can't hold on any more.















And of course, Ben had to have a go at the rock-climbing wall...















...and Olivia... I had a go, too, but I didn't get very far and there weren't any pictures of it.















And there was this great picture of Connor sucking on Ben's shoulder!















And last, but not least: me and the kids at the duck pond. Aren't the colors amazing!?

Great pictures! Our leaves are just now starting to change. So now Connor is a shoulder sucker as well as a thumb sucker?
