Family Weekend

What a fun (and exhausting) weekend we had! Friday night was the trunk or treat party at church and although the rain almost ruined the “trunk” part, Nikolas still had a fun time—eating treats, playing games and trunk-or-treating.
Saturday my sister and brother-in-law treated Nikolas to the Haunted Forest Walk. Gary and I went along and weren’t too surprised that Nik got scared. We took a hayride from the parking lot to the forest.

Once we got into the forest, Nikolas had Gary hold him—and poor Uncle Todd had to lead the way (because Aunt Mary volunteered him as monster bait). They passed out “power rings" to all the little kids to ward off the ghoulish creatures.

Immediately after, Nikolas said he didn’t want to go there ever again—but then on Sunday, he had a change of heart and started to tell us all about the plans he has for those guys next year (and how I have to bring paper along so he can draw pictures of all the monsters).

After being spooked, Mary & I headed to Archivers to scrapbook. I will be posting some of the layouts I finished soon.

On Sunday, we headed out with Gary’s family to have a family photo taken. This was part of a belated present to my MIL. After the photo shoot, we went back to MIL’s to celebrate our nephews 15th birthday.
