2013 Pumpkin Carving party

The McMillan's hard at work on their pumpkins

Scott and Cara starting their pumpkins

The Kluemper's

Conrad was ready to paint his pumpkin

Cara wanted to do hers by herself for the first time, she was making a Hello Kitty pumpkin

This is Will's attitude about the whole thing...

Conrad was busy putting the guts back into the pumpkin

The whole crew with our finished pumpkins

And all aglow!  Good job everyone!
Thanks for another fun pumpkin carving party friends!

Fort Wayne Zoo Halloween

Cara spent most of her second week of fall break with Grandma and Grandpa Abbott.  They met us at Scott's concert on Monday night and she went home with them.  We went up there on Friday to enjoy the zoo and our favorite pumpkin patch!

 We made our annual trip to Fort Wayne for their Wild Zoo Halloween!

Will loved this maze, you can see his little orange head walking with Scott!

Fall Band Concert 2013

Hello Miss Fashionista!  She asked me to straighten her long hair and then put together this cute outfit!

Will looking very dapper in his cute outfit and hat!

My adorable girl waiting for the concert to start!

Will would not stop moving so I could get a cute picture of him!

Will sitting on Grandpa's lap to watch the concert!

Then he was getting restless and decided to stand in the aisle and was conducting, it was pretty cute and entertained those that could see him!

Daddy and his kiddos

Cara always poses on this bridge after concerts

Grandma and Grandpa Abbott met us for the concert so Cara could go back to their house for a few days of her fall break

Our family!

Last Day at Great Wolf Lodge

 I would have loved more pictures in the water park to show what fun we were having but cameras and water don't mix well!  I did put my cellphone in a plastic bag to capture the few that I posted

 Bear Paw, a great  place for sweet eats

 We had to play Howl at the Moon glow in the dark Mini Golf,  can you spy Cara and Will in this picture?

What a fun weekend away as a family!

GWL Days 1 & 2

 So excited to head to the water park for a while

 We loved the lazy river, you could walk, float or use an inner tube to enjoy

 Will loved swimming and we loved this life vest which fit him perfectly

 And Will LOVED the water slides, he must have gone down them 100 times in the 3 days we were there

 We met Sammy the Squirrel in the lobby while Will and Daddy were resting

 And Great Wolf Lodge celebrated halloween every night with a costume parade and trick or treating

 back to Trick or Treating...Cara wore her Merida costume that day and Will is our little Tigger

 He was so not interested in stopping to pose for a cute picture but I did get this cute picture of the back of his costume

 Note the soaking wet hair, just enough time to hop out of the water and take quick showers and head up for the festivites

 That night we got Wolf ears to wear while we along with all the other guests at Great Wolf Lodges across the country participated in setting a new world record to Howl at the Moon
