Fall Camping Fun

This year we decided to take our annual fall vacation in October, back in Branson, Missouri and enjoy the festive fun at Jellystone RV Resort. We went to Silver Dollar City, did a little shopping, and just hung out at camp. We participated in the pumpkin patch, chili cookoff, site decorating, costume contest, and trick or treating, too! Needless to say, we had a great vacation!

Nothing like PB&J when you're camping!

We got a huge load of rock for our driveway today and Cooper thought it was just for him to play on!

Our "Pumpkin Head Pirate"

Happy Halloween!!

I can't believe it's October 31st!! Last Sunday, Cooper and I carved our pumpkin and I put his costume together last weekend. I was so very proud of the costume because I made it! (sort of) I bought the overalls and he had the green long sleeve t-shirt, added a hankerchief and some gold colored felt and voila!! A scarecrow! I sewed the fringed felt on to look like straw. When Traci took his pictures last Sunday, I put brown eyeliner on his nose, too. (See the pics so far) His cap even has "straw" on it! He loves his costume, too. He's worn it twice already and he doesn't like to take it off.
I know the last picture looks very strange...I'm wearing a Halloween shirt and decorating my Christmas tree! Well, the reason for that is that I do it before Thanksgiving for holiday open house, and since the next couple weeks are rather full, I thought, why not do it this one. Dennis just thought it was hilarious to take that pic!

On another note, I officially start my new job as part time youth director at our church starting tomorrow! I get to kick it off with a hayride/ weenie roast! Woohoo!!

Happy Halloween!

I know, I totally missed doing this one on Halloween. Cooper and I had planned to hand out candy, but we didn't end up having any trick-or-treaters that night!! I think the football game interfered a bit, which was fine, because Cooper wasn't really into it. The KDO group did trick-or-treat on Thursday, but it was too warm for his costume, so I dressed him up Friday and put him in the wagon for pictures. Isn't he cute!?!
