What We Did Last Summer

I got quite behind on my summer blogging.  I am trying to catch up with a series of 'What We Did Last Summer' posts.

On the 4th of July we played with sparklers and I set the shutter to be open longer and was able to capture some cool light shots.  This is M. with two sparklers.

In June, B. was baptized.  It was a very special event for B. and our family.

We had the opportunity to head out to MN lake country.  A family invited us out to their lake home for a weekend.  The kids had a blast riding the kayaks.  Everyone caught on very quickly.  I even learned to surf behind a speed boat and Jen not so much.
 

Halloween 2012

It was another great Halloween at our house this year.  Lots of screams all night long from children and adults.  Had all of the remote controlled pneumatics running as well as live action scares too.  Had two friends helping out this year.  Once handed out candy from the back of the hearse while the other hid under a white sheet dressed as a zombie and jumped out at people as they came to get candy.   I walked around the graveyard or laid in the open grave and listened to people as they realized that I was 'real' and not decoration.  Kids went out with their friends walking through our neighborhood.  We had a total of around 14 kids (ours included) going as a group house to house.   Didn't get good pics this year, hopefully next year.
