Happy Halloween!

We visited Nana & Gumpy on Sunday with Daryl's costume on. Then on Halloween we went Trick-or-Treating with cousins Trevor, Kinsey & Preslee.

"What? You just raked these, Gumpy?"


"Uh...I've been shot!"


"I love playing in the leaves!"



Lil' Al Capone (don't worry; that's rootbeer)


Bundled up and ready to Trick-or-Treat!


"Why do we keep knocking and then walk away?"


Preslee the lion, Kinsey the poodle, Trevor the skunk & Daryl the 20's gangster


"Ha ha! I got to go inside one of the houses finally!"

Halloween Fun at The Arboretum

We spent the beautiful fall day on Saturday at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. They had a trick-or-treat trail for kids, and Daryl collected some candy for his parents!

Maybe someday we'll own a cabin like this!


Tickle, tickle, tickle!


"Son....let me tell you the family secret...I don't have much time."


20's Gangster Daryl


Tough Guy


"Eeeewww...don't make eye contact and it won't be real."


"Do I know you?"

Our happy family


The beginning of the trick-or-treat trail


Naptime


Is that Nessy?


They even had a swamp monster to scare the kids - but they weren't scared.




The spooky cemetary


A fairy land


The hedge maze was haunted.


We visited my dad's linden tree; Daryl was actually awake this time!


"This is my Grandpa, Mark's, tree! I have his blue eyes."


Hear the crunching of fall leaves under your feet.






Playing under the Steel Roots sculpture




"Really? Another picture?"

Daryl is getting so big!

Playing in the ball pit in Cousin Kaitlin's room.

There's so many - how do I choose?


Helping Mommy cook

Happy boy!


Playing his mini-piano


Daryl loves his Daddy!


Daryl loves his vegetables - playing with them at least!


"This is my sound machine that helps me sleep at night."


Comfy-cozy in my longjohns.


"I'm trying to crawl, almost there!"


Is there a resemblance here?


Cleaning myself up after eating.


This is the first piece of clothing we bought for Daryl when we were in the Boundary Waters and just found out we were pregnant - now he's finally big enough to wear it!


"Even though I'm not crawling yet, I'm moving all over the place!"


Just hanging around
