Fall Is in the Air

My kiddos are coming in from Fayetteville this weekend! Yay!  Kale is thrilled because deer season is upon us - his favorite time of the year! He loves the cold weather.  That boy can sit in a deer stand in sub-zero temps for hours on end and never fuss.  I, on the other hand, can make it exactly 23 seconds in those temps before requiring emergency frostbite treatment.

Tyler has begun working on a fall fund raiser for the college... a Haunted House.  Last year was his first year to help and he was so excited about how "scary" it was going to be.  He gave the tours and was thrilled that the girls screamed and even cried going through it!  I had no intention of going, but Tyler begged us to go.  I have trouble in fearful situations, so I was literally scared to death at the prospect of going through it, but Tyler promised me he'd walk with me and convinced me I'd be okay.  So, White Cloud, Jodi, David and I went one Friday evening.  I was so nervous I nearly made myself sick.   It was so cold outside and the wait was long, but Tyler gave us a personally guided tour and, no kidding, we LAUGHED hysterically through the whole thing.  It was so funny.  So, we're making plans to attend the big event again this year.

It's been county fair time here in Small Town America.  Here are a couple of pictures of when my kids went with some friends of ours when they were just so little...

Those photos are exactly how I remember your kids and the Sneed kids! There is NO way they should be all grown up!!!!!! Of course you remember me at age 10-12 driving your Geo, and I'm grown with two children so who am I telling?!

How fun does your October sound! I love haunted houses, although I have not been to one in years! I guess since I had kids. :( and a Turkey Trot.. never been to one. Maybe that will be something I will have to try sometime, soon. Thanks for sharing!
