Pumpkin Time

Last Saturday was a great day for carving pumpkins. Sadly, the newly carved pumpkin met it's demise shortly after the last photo.

Texas State Fair

Yesterday Sean and Carys went to the Texas State Fair. Carys worked on a farm feeding chickens, collecting eggs, watering a tree, picking peaches, milking a cow and driving a tractor. For all her hard work she was paid $1 and got to buy something from the store, she choose peanut butter crackers. She won her first stuff animal selecting a winning rubber ducky from the pond. She also got a pet and feed a bunch of animals.

Hawaii Video Overload

I finally got the chance to go through the bazillion videos from our Hawaii trip. Sorry in advance about the wind in some.

A quick video to show you some of the terrain on the Big Island.

Like I said before Carys just jumped in the water. In this video she saw a man swimming and wanted to try it too.

Here we are at the black sand beach during our drive around the island. We just stopped to stretch our legs. Lesson learned, anytime your kid is near water put their bathing suit on, especially if they're already wearing their backup change of clothes. She rode the rest of the way back in her t-shirt and Pull Up.

During the last hour and half or so of the drive Carys was done. She was really tired but wouldn’t fall asleep. There were many requests for “out” but this one was the funniest.
