Family time with Piper |
Mya and Papa Tom horsing around |
After everyone was dressed and ready, we headed to the Eliada Home Fall Festival. |
Brandy and Mya tried out the corrugated pipe slide down the hill. |
The pacifist Quakers may have shot rice from guns but we shot corn cobs at Jack-o-lantern scarecrows. |
Jumping in the giant spiderweb. Luckily, we didn't see the spider who spun the web! |
In the corn kernel box. So warm and relaxing! The mingled smells of corn and hay reminded me of playing in my Pepa Meek's barn when I was a little girl. |
We buried Mya, at her request. |
Oh, those feet are begging to be tickled! |
Quick trip through the corn maze then Papa and I had to leave for the airport. Waah! Can't wait for our next visit! |
Mya practiced skating. I told her to be "Mummy Mya," with her arms out straight in front of her, so I could pull her forward. |
Time to dump out the "Batty Cat" pillowcase full of Halloween goodies and quarters for Mya's piggy bank and River's pockets. |
River used his Jack-o-lantern sticker to transform John Lennon. |
Papa Tom and River built a long railway for Thomas the Tank Engine and friends. |
We had lunch at the mellow mushroom. River concentrated very hard on coloring his place mat. |
River didn't feed the fish but he tossed pennies from his pocket into the fountain. |
Mimi and James joined us for lunch. James was also visiting from Austin! |
Papa with the Halloween Ronald McDonald at Mellow Mushroom. |
Piper had yams for lunch, I think. |
River and Ryder got haircuts |
River rode his glider. The glider has no pedals which allows younger children to learn how to balance themselves in preparation for bike riding. |
I drew a monkey for River. |
We hung out in the playroom. |
We visited the pumpkin punch at Granddad's Orchard. |
River chose a little pumpkin for the front porch. |
OK, I just have to say it. Isn't he handsome? |
Papa Tom is a two-fisted worker! Drill bit in the electric drill and a screwdriver in the cordless drill! |
Baba decides to eat right out of the replenished cat food container. |
Jade bounced and played |
She loves to drive the Zoomer. She'll say "Song?" then turn on the alternator and radio. |
