Halloween 2011

Mr. Incredible is ready for Trick Or Treating
Gramma & Grampa came over to hand out candy
Ready for my daycare Halloween Party
Creating the annual pirate pumpkin
Smells like pumpkin
I was willing to put my hands in the pumpkin this year
But....I quickly lost interest in pumpkin carving
Only one week until I turn five.  Testing out some McLaughlin family birthday party games - while I found the cotton ball game fun, I'm not sure it will make the final cut
I hear my parents had a FANTASTIC time at the World Series
Cheering on the Cardinals and keeping an eye open for Mom & Dad
My parents rode 630 feet up to view St. Louis from the Arch
Would you ride in this pod?  I want to visit the arch so I can ride in this!

Fall Fun

I've struggled to make a new post.  Because really, after your Daddy wins a trip to the World Series and you pull an all-nighter in the ER isn't any post anti-climatic?!  And no, as of today he doesn't know where he is going yet.

So here is what we've been up to for the last month or so.....

My first camel ride (Carolina RenFest)
Jousting!
Frog catapult was really fun
These were my favorite jugglers
Don't try this at home - sword swallowing
First trip to RenFest was a major hit

I got picked to be in the show! (Carowinds)
I always enjoy the Halloween touches they add to Carowinds
A local greenway puts on a fall festival - this year they added pedal tractors - I loved them!
They also added a pumpkin patch!  Makes the tractor ride even better - since it was only October 1st Mommy made me put this one back and just get a small pumpkin - we'll have to go back to get my carving pumpkin!
Can't beat $2 pony rides
First field trip (to a local farm) and even better - first trip on a school bus!
Corn maze - why on earth did they let us lead?  
First soccer game
Born to ride (Cabarrus County Fair)
I think this guy wanted to come home with me

The pig races at the Cabbarus County Fair were really neat
So glad we got a break from the rain so we could enjoy our annual trip to Festival In The Park
I got to go on stage to help with a magic trick - it is safe to say I am a lot braver than I was a year ago
Daddy was a good sport
Building forts during a rainy afternoon
