More Halloween Fun

Here are just a few pictures of the girls Halloween costumes. Shaylee was Hannah Montana.
Kelsi was Miley Cyrus. She came up with her costume.

Courtney was our little lady bug.

Between the birthday party that Shaylee got to go to, the ward party and the school party we all had a fun and busy night.

Pumpkin

Here are a few pictures of our pumpkin carving fun. The girls had lots of fun and were great helpers. Courtney even got in on the action.

More Halloween fun to come.

The Fair!

Yesterday we had a great day at the fair. First we checked out all the animals.

Courtney liked the ducks and walked around saying "quack! quack!"

We didn't go on too many rides. Actually we went on only the "Merry Go Round." We wanted to save our money for other things. It cost $3 a person to ride. I had to pay just to stand on there with the girls. (That is my arm sticking out from behind Kelsi.)

Kelsi and Shaylee each had an art project from school put into the fair exhibit. Kelsi's is in the yellow one just to the right of her. It was a collage of all yellow things cut out from magazines and then there was glitter over the top.

Shaylee's was the one right above her head with the two people on it.
When we saw the same Hawaiian Ice place as there was last year we had to get one. We got strawberry cheesecake flavor with a scoop of ice cream on the bottom and cream on top. We all enjoyed it.

One of the highlights of the day was the FREE(yeah!) face painting. The woman that was doing it did a wonderful job. If she doesn't charge too much we may consider having her come do it for our girls birthday parties next year.

She did lots of other designs that you could choice from but both of the girls really liked this butterfly. I think they turned out really cute.

Courtney and Daddy were very patient while the girls got their faces painted and spent some of the time sitting in the grass eating cotton candy. Courtney saw this picture of her and Daddy this morning and said "bite, yummy." She is so cute and learning to say so many things. We had only minor hiccups in the day but overall I think it was a good day.

To The Zoo

This weekend we had a wonderful time at the Reid Park Zoo with my family. It was great to see everyone, except Jason and Kelly :(. We had lunch at the park and then wandered the zoo. It had been over ten years since I had been to this zoo and it was fun to share it with my kids and husband.

Here are some of the highlights.

They had a place where you could feed and pet the giraffes but it cost $2 and the line was too long so maybe another time.

The Girls had fun climbing in and on top of this turtle shell. We couldn't play long because several people wanted to get pictures of their kids on it.
This egg must have been a double yoke. I guess that means we will have good luck.

There were fun things in the learning center to do and see.

We also enjoyed some Cookies n' Cream and Banana Split Dippin' Dots. A nice little treat that we rarely get.

I bet you have never seen such exotic animals. They are the Shaylee Cheetah and the Kelsi Giraffe.

You "otter" go and see this animal. I know cheesy.

They had all kinds of fun and exotic birds.

The peacocks were everywhere and this one was so close you could almost reach out and pet it.

I don't think this one is really called a monkey but whatever type of primate it is he and his pals were swinging all over. It was pretty fun to see. At one time it almost look as if they were playing tag. Thanks everyone for making it a great day!
