Halloween in Sioux Falls

Rachel and I were able to make it down to Sioux Falls for Halloween this year, and we were also able to see Mike, Lisa, and the kids. There was no set agenda other than enjoy everyone's company and maybe get a few projects done in the process. Mike, the boys, Dad, and myself went over the Grandpa and Jerry's place to some leaf clean up and mow the yard one last time before winter reared its ugly head. Dad and I were also able to get the giant bench seat put back into Grandpa's van.

After that project we did some work on Dad's yard cleaning up leaves and getting the yard back into shape. As the afternoon wore on Rachel and I thought a distraction of pumpkin carving was in order. Unfortunately, the kids were not that into it, and Gabe was not feeling all that great. Rachel and I forged on and carved some of Mom's pumpkins anyway.

We were able to get a few carved up before the kids started getting dressed for trick-or-treating. I guess even the bird dog needed to be humiliated with a costume...

Poor dog...

We were able to split time between living rooms enjoying the company and the kid-lets.

The kids eventually got to get out and trick or treat some-

We had a bumblebee(Elsie), Superman(Jacob), and the Ninja Turtles(Griffin and Sophia).

Poor Gabe was having some gut issues and was sick enough to miss out on trick-or-treating. The next morning he lined out the candy he was allowed to eat once he was better again.

It was great to see everyone and enjoy the chaos of the kids. Mom had the place decorated up for the occasion and the kids were all enthralled by the Halloween Tree.
