Halloween, 2008
Another Trick or Treat night has come and gone. This year we had near perfect weather and so we had record numbers of kids. Lots of princesses, pirates and Hanna Montana lookalikes. My favorite this year was the kid in the shower. This brave soul walked all over the neighborhood wearing a shower stall with a full body suit of a fat guy wearing a towel. Then she?he(?) showed me the backside, the poor shower guy had a bad case of hemorrides!! Too funny.
All the kids were sweet, funny and polite. A delightful evening. Here are some shots of our yard. The kids told us we had the "Best Halloween Yard" in the whole neighborhood.

This past weekend we were in Iowa City with Katy, Kent and Lucia. We visited the Sass family farm all decked out for Fall and Halloween. (I think it was called Sass family farm?!) As you can see we all had a good time, starting with seeing how tall Lucy is this fall, to the hay rack ride at the end. Opps, looks like I forgot to blog that picture!

Maddie enjoyed Door County, and we enjoyed Maddie!!

We spent a few days in Door County, Wisconsin with Chris, Trisha, and Madeleine. The colors were not 'peak', but they were sure pretty. And we had a great time together.

Here are a few pictures of our day at the Amana Colonies in Iowa. That is Katy, Lucy and I coming out of my favorite shop, though this time I did not buy anything. We usually end the day with a cool one at the Millstream Brewery, and that is Mike's favorite shop.
