Happy Halloween

Nana and Papa came for a Halloween weekend visit. We started the weekend off with some yard work and I was more than happy to help. Dad and papa needed to trim up the landscaping so I helped carry off the limbs. It was a tough job as I had to load them into Papa's truck. The work paid off as I enjoyed some trick or treating the next night. Papa even dressed up as Father Time. He was bit scary at first and mistaken for many other characters. This year I dashed from house to house collecting lots of treats. It was a chilly night and I had school the next day so only a few rounds we had time for. We headed back home and I loved passing out candy, but that was short as we ran out. This was a big year for the "treaters" so next year we need to stock up. I was more than happy to share a few of my treats, but not too many.

Turkey Time

Today is yummy turkey dinner. Aunt Kim and Uncle Shawn invited us for a feast at their house. I'm super excited since I will enjoy some play time with my cousins.

Louisburg Cider Mill

Fall is here and that means PUMPKIN PATCH time. This year we decided to venture out to the Kansas side and visit the Louisburg cider mill and pumpkin patch. This was an exciting place. I started off the day with playing in the teepees and sandbox. Then we went on a hayride. I was thirsty so I tasted some homemade root beer. WOW, what a yummy treat! I think I found a new drink, but only on special occasions. Mom and dad don't like me to have "dark, sweet, soda" too much. Not fair! I did manage to convince them that I needed s six pack for the rode! We ended the day with a tour of the cider mill. We watched how cider was made, cider apple donuts and candy apples. It was all soooo yummy! The donuts were my favorite. What a fun trip!

Gladfest 2010

Today the family headed out to Gladstone, MO for an outdoor carnival/festival. We spent most of our time enjoying the rides. My favorite was the giant potato sack slide. I just could not get enough of it. I also took a spin on the cars.
