Halloween in Indiana

Hi from Indiana! We left dad in Norfolk to spend some quality time with Noel - Hurricane Noel. The rest of us have taken a field trip to Aurora, IN to visit mom's family.

Here are some photos from Halloween. Grandma Janet made the kids' costumes. As for candy, the kids made out well... Jake's bag weighed in at 4 lbs! Good thing Uncle John had a 4-wheeler to help carry all the loot.

The kids took 2nd place in the "home made" catagory of the costume contest which follows the annual Aurora Lions' Club Halloween Parade. Their prize was $8, but since that doesn't split well by 3, they decided to tip their costume designer $2.

Besides trick-or-treating, our adventures have included a ghost walk through downtown Aurora with Grandma Janet, Uncle David & Aunt Judy and local ghost-expert Jim Waldon, proprietor of The Herman Leive House (a B&B not a haunted mansion); some geocaching with Cousins Brooke and Kaylee; and yesterday, a trip to the Newport (KY) Aquarium with Kaylee, Uncle John & Aunt Nikki. The boys also have been "working" at the Aurora Lumber Company helping Grandpa Carl. For a few photos from these outings, click here. (More coming soon.)
