Halloween 2012

Happy Halloween from the mummy and Waldo

Cub Scout Fire Station Tour

Trevor's cub scout den visited the fire station tonight to fulfill one of their go see it events.  They were shown a fire suit, all the equipment on the truck, inside the truck and the best part...they got to hold the fire hose.  Cole was excited that he got to go along and participate.

Drive-In movie night

Tonight was "Drive-In" movie night at Awanas.  The kids were instructed to bring in a car made from a cardboard box to watch the movie in.  The boys helped me pick out the type of cars they wanted and then decorate them.  Prizes were handed out to the best cars, Trevor won first and Cole won second. 

 Please ignore Cole picking his nose.  It is the only picture that wasn't blurry. 

Andelin Farm Pumpkin Patch

The boys dentist office invited their patients to the pumpkin patch today.  The boys were super excited to find out that it started after Trevor was out at school.  We had a great time.

Corn Maze

We took the boys to a corn maze this morning.  This is our third year attending this corn maze and we have never found the way out.  Usually after an hour of going around in circles we give up and go back out the entrance.  I am happy to say that this year we conquered it.  In about 20 minutes we were able to finally find the scarecrow at the end of the maze.  We were so excited we had to take pictures with him.

Plane Ride

We went to the Spanish Springs Airport Day this morning.  The boys and Craig were able to go on a plane ride.  The pilot was super nice and took a little detour to fly over our house.  He got low so they could see the dogs laying in the back yard.  The boys were really excited and have been talking about it all day.

Apple Picking

Yesterday we took the boys to pick apples at a U-pick apple orchard.  The boys each had a pair of scissors and were apple to pick as many apples as they wanted.   They were told to use the scissors to cut the step just above the apple so it didn't ruin the tree for next years crop.  They were super excited and picked over 9 lbs of apples.

Cub Scout Rocket Launch 2012

Today was our Cub Scout Packs rocket launch.  Trevor's rocket was the Riptide.  It was blue with shiney blue nose and tail.  The boys all had a blast shooting their rockets off and then chasing them down.  Trevor's did a great job and went super high.  He was so excited.

Great Reno Balloon Race 2012

This past weekend was the Great Reno Balloon Race.  We got up at 4 AM and loaded the boys in the car to go see dawn patrol.  They do a show where the balloons take turns glowing and then they lift off.  After that they blow up 87 more balloons and launch.  Sadly we went on Sunday and it was too windy for them to go up.  We did however get to see them blown up and get up close to them.
