Camping with the Scouts

We went on our first Cub Scouts camping trip to Pedernales Falls on a weekend in early November. The nights were quite nippy -- close to freezing actually, but the days were sunny and beautiful. Their were all kinds of fun planned activities, and plenty of free time for playing in the beautiful woods and sitting around the campfire at night.

Halloween

These photos say it all. James was GI Joe, and Andrew was a scary alien. The Star Wars Clone trooper is their good buddy from across the street, Campbell.

School parties

James and Andrew both had fun halloween and fall-themed class parties.

Sweet Berry Farm

We love going to this place before Halloween. This time we went on a Cub Scouts outing. We were glad to see friend Jeremy and Christopher Bridges there as they were a big help on the Texas Corn Maze. It took us over 1 hour to finish -- whew! Then we went on a relaxing hay wagon ride through the woods, and after that we picked flowers. What a fun day in Marble Falls!

Halloween Party

James and Ben Pont invited us to a fun Halloween party at their house.

Allie and Papa's Visit

We did lots of fun things while Allie and Papa were visiting. We went to Wimberley for some shopping, to the Driftwood Winery for some local wine and a great view and to the Wildflower Center which is right in our new neighborhood!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

We celebrated Daddy's birthday while Allie and Papa were visiting.

Entrepreneur Andrew

Andrew came up with this idea to sell a few of his unwanted toys and things. After going door to door and selling a few items, he set up this stand in front of our house.

Cub Scout James

Here is James posing for the first time in his brand new cub scouts uniform.

Foundations Retreat 2

As you can see, a great time was had by all at the Crier Creek retreat center. We're already looking forward to next year's retreat!

Foundations Retreat 1

We went on a weekend retreat with our bible study group in Sept. This is one of the crazy activities we got ourselves into!
