Halloween - Hiccup the Viking

Dean was Hiccup the Viking from "How to Train Your Dragon". Blake took him door to door in Steve and Leslie's neighborhood. Their kids Ada (baby pumpkin) and Warren (To Mater the Tow Truck). It was COLD - spitting rain 40's and windy!

Courtney Farms - CSA

We supported a local farmer through a CSA this year! I loved the experience and plan on doing it again next year. The fruit and vegetables were so beautiful and tasty. This was their year-end party complete with a hayride around their 200 acre farm.

Dean fell asleep on the way with an orange in his mouth. Please note after photo I removed orange!

Dean was saying "watch fish" to the pond - we did see fish but I think he remembers his Gramma's and Papaw's pond and feeding their giant pet catfish.

Trains!

Dean Loves trains. Andrew brought his trains from when he was a boy home. His dad and him built this pulley system so the board can be raised and lowered - which is great when you have a garage as storage! Dean begs to go "watch choo choo" in the garage and will spend no less than an hour out there. He tells the train to "stop" and "go" and can even work the switch to make them go "slow" and "fast".

Santa Fe is no longer a working engine.
