Halloween, Part 2

What a day! Even though Harrison was a little cranky today due to an early morning wake up and short nap, he rallied to make it a fun evening!

Our neighbors hosted a "pre-trick or treating" dinner. A great way to start the evening despite, one of the kids fell and had to head to the hospital for stitches. (He was more upset about missing the candy than his head hurting.) The rest of the crew headed out to hit the neighborhood. We didn't get a group picture but we did get a couple of the little ones.
Harrison enjoyed having Nora along for the ride!
The little kids followed the big kids and quickly caught on about how the whole night works!


We stopped off to pick up Jack since he didn't make it to the pre-game festivities.
After doing the rounds, Harrison dumped out his loot! (Helpful Hint: A lot of families in our neighborhood give out full size candy bars....luckily we convince H they were "Daddy Size" candy bars and he easily gave them up.)

Harrison had a great Halloween weekend but I think we need to readjust his sugar to health food intake this week!

Halloween, Part One

OK, this first picture is not Halloween but it was pretty cute! Harrison loves the riding lawn mower!

Our Halloween kicked off with a package from Grandpa Terry and Grandma Nancy! All Treats!

Friday brought a Halloween party at daycare. He was so excited to wear his costume there.

All the kids decorated their treat bags. Harrison loves stickers!

Saturday Harrison attended a Halloween party at his buddy Thomas' house. Fun activities included pin the nose on the pumpkin....

....and ghost hunting (where the kids find the hidden ghosts and put them in the bag)....

...and fishing for spiders! The kids also decorated mini pumpkins.

Of course there was a little bit of cooking too!

Thanks Flynns for a very fun morning!!!

2 Year Pics!

Although we got these done almost 2 months ago, I am finally getting them posted. Harrison was not cooperating very well the day of the shoot but we did manage to get a couple of pics.

And of course Harrison's real personality came out too...

Fall Fun!

Last weekend we took advantage of the continues nice weather and checked out a working farm about 45 minutes from our house. Harrison was quick to jump on the tractor when we got there!

I think the highlight for Harrison was the hayride because Farmer Bob allowed everyone to pick out an ear of popping corn and a gourd.
Farmer Bob also let everyone sample a root vegetable Manga...of course Harrison was quick to try it!
Luckily the goats were behind fence so there were no repeats of the goat incident at the zoo that happened last fall.
We picked out a pumpkin but the squirrels have been eating it!
This weekend we headed up to a resort with the McConnell and Black families. A great time had by all! We had a 6 bedroom cabin at Breezy point and it worked our perfect...plenty of room for everyone.

Fueling up for a busy day!
Mid morning dance party!
Harrison breaking out his best moves!
Check out the water...it was cold!
Reese McConnell and Harrison decided to use the buddy system.
All the kids LOVED the pool! It was great because the littler kids could be in the kiddie pool by themselves.

In the evening, the guys build a great fire for roasting marshmallows.

A great weekend of family fun!

Sunday, Harrison hosted his cousins Isaac, Maddie, and Reilly for the Vikings game. (Their parents came along too!)

We couldn't convince H to wear his jersey (he insisted on his dinosaur sweatshirt) but Isaac sported his support for the team!

Maddie was a good leader for the crazy boys!

Yes, more fire trucks!

At the risk of being "Fire Department Open House" groupies, we headed over to the City of Hopkins fire house.

This time, they allowed all ages to ride the fire trucks. Harrison had a smile the whole time!

Harrison also liked using the fire hose!We met up with Grayson Hatlestad for part of the morning. The boys waited patiently for the truck rides (with the help of a little ice cream!)

What a great way to spend a beautiful fall day!
