Pirate party

My niece shares a birthday with Ada.  We're celebrating Ada next Saturday, so we went up to Vivien's Pirate party.  The kids had a blast and Seth LOVES everything that Vivien loves, so it was just as fun for him as for her.














Uncle Seth gave Ada an organizer for her Magic cards.  Aunt Nella gave Ada a leather bound art book.  Grandma and Grandpa got her some pieces for her Halloween costume and a neat book that I might have to borrow from her.  Aunt Sharon got her an Amazon gift card.   She was so excited about all of them.  





 

Evermore

 

This week was full of activity.  Wed, we helped my brother, Seth, and my Uncle, Reid, into a house that they are renting.  Then Friday, the Wilcoxes wanted to go to Evermore together.  We went and everyone else ended up with conflicts.  Oh well.  We had fun.  It was the most people that we've been around in 10 months, but at least we were masked.  It was part of their October Spooky show, so there were circus people and "scary" people wandering around.














Ada was feeling a little down, and I loved that Jer noticed and cheered her up.  After walking with Dad for a bit, she was much better.



Sam took some pictures of the fire dancers.





Evelyn LOVED the archery range.  She says that she's a Ranger and was all gung ho to try and do the quests, but we mostly wandered and did the activities instead of the quests this time.  We did knife throwing and axe throwing.  I got 2 of 3 axes in and 1 of 3 knives.  No one else stuck any knives, but they all did fairly well with the axes.  Seth was too little for the axes, so I let him do the knives twice.

They had a new thing this year too... the Battle Arena.  They all picked out weapons and then went to town.

























Rhees Family

This is such a fun family.  They're sweet and playful.  It's fun to get to know them and try not to freeze in the cold rain!  It was...
