Batman and Robin to the rescue!

The boys did great and had so much fun Trick or Treating this year! They both really got into it. Carson was determined to hit every house, especially the scary ones. Grandma Bain (we had a lovely suprize visit from Karen & John for Halloween) pulled Colton in the wagon & he was just thrilled to eat candy & sit in the wagon. I think they would have gone all night if we let them. Carson's friend Eli joined us for a little while & they were quite the super hero crew.

Now I'm just trying to secretly get rid of all the candy. For the past three days all Colton wants to eat is candy. Such sweet memories!

Fall Activities

It hasn't really felt like fall because of the warm temperatures; however, we got a quick cold blast for a few days. So we visited a fantastic local pumkin patch. They had a hayride, maze(which took Carson over 30 min to find his way our), bounce houses, all kinds of photo spots, and pumpkins galore. We also carved our pumpkins, and as you can see it turned a bit crazy with Daddy smushing pumpkin guts in Carson's face. Colton wasn't too sure about sticking his hands in there at first, but after the whole pumpkin fight he jumped right in. We were so excited about these kits Chris got to carve the pumpkins, but after over an hour of carving we didn't think they where so cool after all. I think they turned our great, though. You can see Chris's artistic side coming out.

Florida & The Pirate Festival

In October, we joined mom at the beach house in Ft. Myers Beach for our second annual Pirate Festival. Carson talks about this event all year. The kids do real treasure hunts in the sand, costume contests, sand castles, a parade of pirates, real pirate ships with cannons shooting off and everything. This year they added pirates battling which was Carson's new favorite event. We also visited the alligator farm which was right up the boys alley. In the picture of Carson on the swinging bridge he is standing over thirty or so huge crocs. We just love visits with mom at the beach house. Thankfully Colton didn't eat the sand this year. And we all enjoyed rafting out in the ocean, one of my favorite activities while we're there. Grandma treated us to such a great time we can't wait to go back.
