It's Only A Game......

We have all been pretty bummed about the Cubs......Bruce and Tiffany and kids arrived on Thurs. night just in time to watch the Cubs.......lose.
But on Friday happier times prevailed. Uncle Scott took the boys to the lake to fish. Wow...were they excited. We all joined up with them a little later. There will be more pictures posted later as I get them.

We enjoyed pizza and kids.
Remember the turtle eggs that the kids found buried in the sand around the 4th of July. Well Scott and Jeff "saved" them and took them home and they hatched about a month ago. He has been taking care of them so that when Devon and Carter came back to visit they could see the turtles that hatched.....about 10 of them.

Here are all the kids gathered around to see the turtles.


We had a "launching party".....they all had a turtle and let them all go "back to their family" in the lake. They were soft shell water turtles (I think that is what Scott told me).


Here's the "launch"....go turtles go!
We made a nice fire to roast marshmellows and make s'mores....and keep warm. The nights are chilly.



We celebrated the October birthdays....Lauren (6), Brooke (3) and Dayna.
