Spooky Haunted House

 Both of us were a little scared and uncertain before we went in...

Some of the creepy decorations we walked past as we shuffled through the waiting areas.

Soo scary!

The cool glasses they gave us to make the black light decorations really pop!

One of the monsters in the gift shop almost got me!

Power Washin'

 Initially, Ledger didn't quite realize that he needs to work in a line and clean them off one by one...

Ooh- it's lookng pretty great!

Amazing how much of a difference it makes!

First Day

Waffles for breakfast, as usual, while he tries to wake up early, for the first time in months!

After I get my nice picture, he always loves to do some silly ones too!

Reenacting Lion King!

Getting his shoes on, ready to start the big day!

Walking in, saying hi to the superintendent!

Wow- it must have been an exhausting day! He fell asleep on the couch soon after getting home!

7th Grade Handprint

 The first 8 handprints. Time to add one more!

Putting the pain on the plate, his artistic impulses take over!

He's so good at faces and expressions!

Another print for another year.

His 7th grade entry into the hand print board.

Random Ledge 115

 Walking on top of the big wall on our way home from West Ward.

Going to see a movie together.

The boys ready to watch a silly movie together!

We went and got Ledger some new pants. He refused to try them on at the store, so we told him he would have to have a 'fashion show' when we got home. Diana and I lined up our chairs and he strutted his stuff down the hall for us to see how it all looked! Our lil' supermodel!

A rare midday nap!

Hanging out at my work's fair.

Doing a little shopping with his dad.

laying on the couch, doing some animating!

Yard Work

 You can see what a difference it made to wash up the front of the gutters!

The branches were hanging over the roof quite a bit.

Ah, that's much better!

What a lovely afternoon!

Zoo: Festival of Lights 2

 

One of Ledger's favorites: the octopus!

A couple of goofy looking critters!

Diana's favorite- the butterfly!

Oh no- watch out for the scary spider!

As promised, here is what the walkway of paper lanterns looked like after dark!

Zoo: Festival of Lights 1

 There were a bunch of different characters set up at the start of the Zoo, each had a handful of specific birth years listed on them, so we looked around and saw what animal represented each of us.

Diana, of course, loved the beautiful peacock!

Ledger, poking around at the decorations...

The walkway of paper lanterns looked pretty cool in daylight, but downright amazing at night!

Lots of really cool sea life lights along the way!

As you can see, it got even more impressive as it got darker out!

To the Lake

 The lake looks just about nice enough to swim in- which Ledger and Tav did...

Wiggins liked going out on the deck and checking out the scenery.

The boys wanted nothing more than to build a blanket fort in the living room!

Playing a fun new magnet game with auntie Barbara!

Everyone digging in to the delicious dinner!

Everyone gathers around the cake waiting for the man of honor to come in so we can start singing!

The boys didn't exactly get enough sleep since they stayed up so late, so they slept far into the morning!

Right after he promised 'I'm not tired at all!', Tavish fell fast asleep in the chair...
