Dane wins best costume for his age group!! Here he is collecting his prize.

The parade was led through town down to Hall Fawcett Park where there was a Chili cookoff, hot dogs, and a Cake Walk. They gave out prizes for all age groups including adults.

Family

The family got together to celebrate the birthdays of my dad, Grandma Longshore, and my niece Elise on Sunday. My parents house was packed full. Our family is growing quite large!

Hocking Valley Railroad

We left early this morning with Grandpa and Grandma Peterson to visit Logan, Ohio and ride the Hocking Valley Railway. Dane loves trains, so we knew it would be a hit!

Our train departed at noon. We took a 16mile roundtrip to Haydenville. It was a 1 1/2 hour trip with a 1/2 hour stop at Robins Crossing.

Dane starts to get sleepy towards the end.

Robin's Crossing. A small old-time town with a blacksmith and general store.

Pumpkin Carvin

We decided we'd carve up the pumpkins we'd picked from Wenger's. Here's Brad carving the top off with a dry wall saw (turns out, this works best)

Brad intently carving his pumpkin.

Brad didn't want to clean his out, he thought it was gross.

So I did it, I'm no sissy :)

Brad's handy work.


My pumpkin!

All lit up and Spooky!!!!

(or "Fooky" as Dane says!)
