Hiking at Hyland

Antonio being himself.

Helping Crystel up the hill. Sometimes it takes two extra hands.

Antonio saying, "Yeah, I made it!"

The hike was miles but didn't seem to long as the kids found things to do all along the way.

Our Cub Scout and Dancer

Crystel. Our very shy dancer.

She does an excellent job of not being seen. On the other hand. Antonio does a good job of being seen

Fun before my first day of Tae Kwon Do.

Halloween Pictures

Yes, we are ready. This shows Crystel's braces. We see the doctor on Monday and I'm guessing they will come off. Having done the job they were supposed too. Bringing her two front teeth close together. A classmate told Antonio that he had grass growing out of his head.

Ah, she will be a witch. Crystel loves all things scary. She loves what she hates.

Antonio could tell you who he is. I could not.

Antonio and I trying to target Amie and Crystel

Amie was a trooper. She got very wet! Not from us. Just happenstance. Crystel won the butterfly contest. But does it really count if you take your mom's hat and also go around taking butterflys from people. She has no shame.

Now, Antonio. He has some pride. He lets the butterfly land on him then asks you to get it off of him RIGHT NOW. Him and I are always the first to leave. Right outside the butterfly house is a cotton candy house where we indulge while we wait and wait and wait for Crystel to be utterly satisfied that she has enough butterflies on her person.

State Fair

This is what it looks like coming out of the haunted house. Jody is holding Antonio. Sssssh. (he started crying inside the haunted house - this is the first time he went in) Usually Crystel is the one who insists on going inside with Aunt Amie - for the past three years. This is going in.

Antonio and Crystel enjoying my drink. Antonio gives the thumbs up sign.

Our first stop was for MEAT. I'm holding the porkchop, Antonio the Turkey leg, and Jody the corn dog. At 10 am there isn't a line yet.
