This was a funny "float" a huge Schnucks basket, sure got a kick out of that!
After the parade we all climbed back up the hill/mountain- wish I would have taken a picture of that. The next day we girls got up early & ran over to Target. ALL of their Halloween goodies were on clearance so... just to give my cousin Cindy a hard time (she's scared of spiders) we bought this little spider costume & stuffed Katy's puppy Ringo into it. Poor Ringo, we had a hard time squishin' his head, not to mention his ears into that thing...he was a good sport!
My Aunt June, cousins Cindy, Katy, Alyssa, Emma-Rae & I took off to Grafton to spend the afternoon shopping, enjoy the weather, & the beautiful fall foliage- suprisingly enough I didn't take any pics of that trip, I'm battin' zero here- I know. Apparently the ONE thing we were NOT destined to do in Grafton was eat. It was the weirdest thing ever, we waited like 40 minutes at a restaurant & didn't even get drinks, the service was sooo... bad & it was that way in every restaurant in town. Moral of the story- DON'T g0 to Grafton when you're hungry, stop by Burger King FIRST, or if you're from out of town & you are Jack in the Box deprived stop there.
Uncle John decided he would bust open some geodes, Emma-Rae is such a rockhound that she was in heaven! They are going to go hunting for them when we go visit next time. See that cool hockey stick John-Robert is holding? Bobby & Zach MADE it for him so they could all 3 play hockey that afternoon. My cousins' kids are the BEST, my kids adore them... me too!!
Uncle John managed to get these things cracked without banging his thumb- I would have hit my thumb. Zachary has a good grip on Ringo because Ringo REALLY wanted to help John out.
Emma-Rae was soooo... excited about the geodes & what was inside them. We had to leave shortly after this. John had to work the next day (really early) and we had a long drive home. Thanks for having us up Alton crew... we'll see you New Years Eve!!
