Halloween Festivities

This past weekend, we had a fun couple days over at Milford... we had a Halloween party/potluck at the 'barn' on Friday night where we all dressed up in costume, ate lots of good food, had a hayride & fireworks (thanks Eric & Lori!) and a tour through a scary dark maze!! It was a lot of fun!! The next day was followed with more good eats over at Kevin & Jody's where we had a fun day with a bunch of young families. My favourite part was hide & seek on the buggies!! Here are some pictures (backwards) of our day on Saturday at Kevin & Jody's first, followed by our party on Friday night... Laura holding Shalyn

The buggy full of boys...
Mr. David all bundled up
Laura & Shelley carting around the girls
Brad was my crazy driver... we did have a great hiding spot, however we were anxious to be found as he had us buried in mud up to the axle. Good one Brad.

Later in the day, we had a little baby shower for Shelley who is expecting a boy in a few weeks.

School & Library Halloween Celebrations

Bella's school had a Halloween party & parade on Thursday, so we all bundled up to catch the action. Bella was a little cowgirl for Halloween this year.. Bella with her class in the parade (they walked around the school a couple of times!)

This guy was so funny!! His head is halfway up his left leg...
Here is Bella's class with her teachers
In the morning, David & Kate had a Boo Parade at their Thursday Storytime at the Newfields library. Kate was a little bunny....
We walk down to the general store, then over to the police station & townhall
