Trick Or Treats Memory Lane

 It has been awhile since the kids have gone trick or treating, they aged out some time ago. I did enjoy those years, especially when all three were decked out in costume. I didn't care for the actual trick or treating, I found it rather strange and silly to ask strangers for candy at their door. I enjoyed going to grandparents, family friends, and neighbors homes, and I loved seeing the kids in their little costumes. I was pretty resourceful using the same costume multiple times or coming up with a costume put together from our closet and creativity. We didn't have to spend lots of money for a high dollar costumes, and they were even cuter in the end. Jake was very creative and liked to come up with his own ideas as he got older. There were so many favorites. Here are most of them through the years.

This very last photo of our family was a 50th  dress up from the 70's birthday party that was held around Halloween. We all got into the costumes, I thought we did pretty good in the costume department!

Volleyball

Jake  went with Karen after school and to the field. My mom, Luke and I went to Jayden’s  Volleyball game in Coon Rapids.  They played 4 games all losses. They were not having a good serving night and that really hurt them.  Still enjoy watching them learn.

Treasures

 In the morning we took 3 of our 4 cats to the vet for shots. The 4 th cat decided to wander this morning missing his appointment. On our way out, we passed a rummage sale and stopped. We got some major treasures for next to nothing. The church ladies were so fascinated with Jacob's interest in old radios and televisions. They just adored him and marked the prices way down and gave him some for free. We loaded up on kids books, got some board games, and a few other treasures. Jake ended up with a mini  television , an old radio and Polaroid camera. After lunch the boys went straight to the field. My friend Carolyn and her daughter Tabby came to ride horses. What started out to be a chilly day 45, turned out nice and sunny. We had coats on, but it was a great day to ride. We rode through our hay patch and along the waterway near the highway. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.

Dayton Fun Show

 It has been cold and windy for the past week, highs of 45. Today the sun was shinning and it got up to 60. There was one final horse show for the season at the Dayton arena. We took Jayden and Jacob while Luke went with Grammer and Po and was supposed to come later. It was a fun show geared for practice and the kids. Jake did really well on Winnie, he rode in walk and trot, barrels, and poles. He did some loping. Jayden did pleasure, milk can, barrels, poles, and a jumping event. Her horse Tex really jumps high for the jump event. Down in the arena, there was'nt any wind and the sun came out. It made for a nice day.
