Halloween week has been fun. It started with cub scout pack meeting featuring a traditional doughnut-on-a-string eating contest. Nathaniel has a huge smile on his face while he's trying to get his doughnut. This is one of his last pack meetings before he goes into boy scouts.
Grandma and Grandpa Johansen drove down to see our new house. Nathaniel received a basketball as an early birthday present and he enjoyed learning some skills with Grandpa.
Then we decided to see something new in our area. We went to a teaching zoo at a local community college. It was small and a little sleepy, but it was OK.
There were cockroaches to hold
and condor silhouettes.
It was a very pretty day though. Pretty good for Oct 30.
This was Davis' Halloween Costume. He wore it to a Stake dance and the ward Trunk or Treat. Since Halloween was on a Sunday we didn't plan to go trick or treating, and neither of the boys seemed that keen on it. We bbq-ed with the grandparents and watched a couple movies and met a couple neighbors when they came trick or treating to our door.
We took a drive to the beach to get out of the house. We're looking for a new favorite beach - I don't think this is it, but it was OK.
The boys liked fighting with bamboo sticks they found on the beach.
The life guards aren't around this time of year to enforce the rules about bamboo stick fighting on the lifeguard towers. We'll keep looking for the perfect beach. In the mean time, ask yourself if you wouldn't rather be on a sunny beach instead of the cold state you live in right now... We have a guest room and soon we'll be done with the master closet so we don't have to store all of our clothes in the guest room closet. Come see us - there are vacancies available for the holidays!

haha, I would LOVE to be on the WARM beach right now!
I do live right by the ocean, but seeing that it's in Danmark, it's just a little cold...especially when it hits freezing temperatures!
I love reading about your adventures! The house is looking Great! :]
