Our Halloween Weekend

We love to go to Cannonville on our Halloween weekend and have our family party.
 Grandma always has the funnest things in her trailer. This year it was "locktagons"! They loved building with them.

 Isaac loves reading and Anna loves to Etcha-Sketch
 We went out to Tropic Reservoir for a picnic and found a super neat rope swing.  
 We're wondering if it will actually hold us. 
 My little hiker. 
 Mom better test its strength first. 
 Okay I think it's good!
 Here goes Isaac!! He played on the rope swing for a few hours. 
 Beautiful day and a beautiful spot for a picnic.



 Jackson snuggled up with Grandma. It was a little chilly if a breeze came up. 



 The real test.....will it hold Grandpa!!
 Okay I think we're good!!
 Jackson loves to explore.
 Anna loves to play.
 Jackson and Grandpa found a school of minnows. 


 Such a pretty sky. 
Fun times. 
 Getting ready for our annual family fiesta - in honor of our Mexico days. We spent hours cooking and then I didn't get any pictures of our delicious food because I was too busy eating it. Good stuff. 

 Grandma Bonnie always comes up. She is so sweet and always brings the kids a Halloween treat. 
 Anna entertaining herself and us while we cook. 
 Jackson and Isaac played and played and played. 

 Cute skeleton family. 

 Uncle Dustin and Luker getting the pinata set up. 
 But he had an extra surprise........you must put on one of these to swing at the pinata......
 ....a handsome mustache!! 
 ....and Dracula teeth!
 Handsome bunch of mustache wearing Draculas
 Uncle Dustin is too fun!
 Oh yes and don't forget the eye patch!
 Sometimes it's hard to get all that on!! (notice the teeth falling)
 Here we go! Youngest to oldest - Luker is up.
 Go Jackson go!
 Hit it Marky!
 Isaac knocked a little piece loose!
 Yay Allie!
 Alright Estefan get us some candy!!
 Waiting eagerly...
 Yes!!!!
 Loads of candy!
 Lets sit around and eat it. 

 Jackson pretending to eat a fake rat that he found in his candy!

Such good boys I have. 

 Sweet girls. 
 Time for a ride. Grandma Bonnie loved her ride with the kids. 
 Anna always loves rides with Grandpa


 Funny boy. 

 Heading up to the trailer to stash our candy before we head out on our next adventure. 
 One of our favorites......sliding down Sheep Crick Dam!






 Dad always finds some new device to try sliding down on. Last year an ice chest, this year....i'm not sure - maybe it's a cushion from an old trailer - he's not telling. 
 Mark giving us a nice little shove to get us going. 

 Cuties. 







 Dad was the brave one to try sliding down on the wet slippery part first. 
 Doesn't seem like the best idea......

 Well he survived!!
 We'll stick to the other side. 

Dustin gave in - he had to try it too - nice action shot of him flipping through the air! Totally worth it!!
