Halloween, 2009
Lily picked out an awesome costume this year! The rest were recycled from previous years, it’s good to be the oldest! We had a good time as usual, just roamed around the neighborhood.
Pumpkin Patch
I really enjoyed the pumpkin patch last year, but Julie didn’t like that the pumpkins were already picked. She wants to pick them “in the field.” I looked into several, most were an hour or so away and we only had a couple hours between Cassie’s nap and Julie going into work. Plus, the “hayride” at Lobenstein is pretty weak but it’s only $0.50 per person versus $8-10 at other places.
In the end we decided to go back to Lobenstein Farm, and had a good time. I think they make up the hayride difference with pumpkin prices, we ended up spending $45!
Long Live Goldie, Goldie is Dead
Last weekend, we went up to the Brown County Fair to spend some quality time with the grandparents (and eat junk food). We had a great time, it’s been since HS that I went so it was fun to go back. Didn’t see many ppl I know, but the kids loved the rides and grandparents enjoyed spoiling them. They even let Ava throw the darts at the balloon game, which she nailed.
My parents then proceeded to break the cardinal rule of festivals, (Rule #1: No Goldfish) and “won” us a goldfish. So Julie bought a bowl, food and some rocks and we were nervous when we read that they can live up to 10 years! Ava named it Goldie, and Cassie was probably the most excited about the newest member of the family. She could spend a solid 5 minutes shouting and waving at Goldie, then come back and do it an hour later.
Unfortunately, Goldie did not make it ten years. He passed quietly this afternoon, and will be buried later tonight after the little ones are fast asleep. Goldie, it was fun while it lasted and you will be missed.
Dad’s Camping Trip
Did a camping trip to Carter Caves with a couple of friends this weekend, had a lot of fun! First time I’ve been camping in (at least) a couple decades and the girls had never been. We did a cave tour, short hike to a natural bridge and did some late night dancing!
Girls did great on the drive up and back, Google did not do so well. The directions took me through gravel roads, a creek bed (!!) and (pretty sure) where they filmed Deliverance. I took 64/75 back.
