Trick or Treat

We were in Ames for Halloween, so the girls went trick or treat-ing



Witches love little Pirates


Little Alligators will eat you - or beat you with a stick


Sammie showing Ellie how to trick or treat

Emerson day at the Zoo

Ghost Ellie


Frankenstein Alex


Ghost Kate


All got together to haunt the zoo


check out some pumpkins


hang out


and play.

Weekend with Dad

On Sunday we went to the Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey circus and saw an elephant painting...


and tigers and clowns and motorcycles!


Then we had dinner at Hard Rock Cafe in Union Station.


On Sunday we went to mobot and Ellie played the xylophone...




played with leaves and chopped wood...


smelled the flowers...


and served hard time.

Eckert's Orchard

Running around in the ghost yard


Looking at pumpkins with Dad


Waving at Tractors


I love you!


Clapping for the pumpkin lancher


Climbing giant pumpkins


Driving a tractor


Climbing around

Twirling

Baby Stroller

Ellie loves the baby stroller Meg and I found at a garage sale


She straps the baby in


and pushes her all over the house.

Peas and Ears

Ellie can now identify her ears


and found that peas fit into them


and thinks it is hilarious

Music

Practicing signing at a recording studio


Playing the Alligator xylophone.

Best of Missouri Market

We had a great time at the Best of Missouri Market at MoBot.


Ellie picked out a pumpkin and made herself a name tag


She met a cow


and dressed up like a baker and decorated a cookie
