Thanksgiving 2011

This year for Thanksgiving we took off for Ocean Shores - it was beautiful, relaxing, and great family time.

The pool was the first stop after checking into our hotel...

...Then, Turkey dinner. Lucas is getting pretty good with the camera.

Beautiful beach.
Too bad we hit it at high tide.

But, we still managed to find lots of great stuff.
Shark man!
It was a great couple of days on the coast. Nice relaxing way to kick off the holiday season. Off to get the tree today!

Halloween 2011

It was a wonderful Halloween weekend - would've been perfect if Randy were here - very busy and loads of candy! We hit the park on Saturday to ride the Ghost Train (totally doing it at night next year, Lucas loved it.) Couldn't get any pictures on the train, but took a few in the park during the carnival - collected lots of candy! Halloween day - Lucas had a party at school - trick -or-treating around the building and a pinata! Tons more candy. That night - trick-or-treating - of course, Gobs more candy! Lucas is in sugar heaven. Here are the highlights.

Wolfman

Monster Truck

Should be in the back seat.

School Monday morning, so excited!

Trick-or-Treating around the school (this is the Senior Center -they cleaned up in here)

Waiting to hit the pinata.

Listening to instructions.

Taking a whack! I was impressed how hard he hit it!

Getting ready to hit the streets.

Trick-or-Treat!

These guys were rockin' out in their garage. Lucas was lovin' it - couldn't pull him away!

This was the best house - the front of it is the picture below - these people went all out.

Doesn't do it justice - it is a corner house, so it wrapped around - every square inch was decorated.

Another great house with some creepy stuff in the garage for the kids to look at.

Hitching a ride back up to the house.

I was in the cab, Lucas peaking in.

Home at last - long night, but lots of fun! Till next year - Happy Halloween!
