Fishing...

This past weekend Ethan could earn his Fishing patch for boy scouts. Bass Pro Shop has a huge pond that they stocked with fish. We got there right on time and spent about 2 hours and was not able to catch a fish. There were many many people there, so the competition was high. They also had snakes and other animals there to touch.

I asked him if he would put the snake around his neck and take a picture. He said no so I had to bribe him with $5 to do it. And as you see from the picture below I am out $5.


He loved it!

Halloween 2009

Its been a long while since I've posted. So I thought I would talk a few minutes to write an update.

Ethan no longer has long hair. My dad decided to cut it. Ethan came home after visiting grandpa's with no hair. I was not happy about it, but it is done and he is growing it back out.

Halloween was a lot of fun. We have started a new tradition with a good friend of ours. There are a few houses on her street that get together on Halloween hand out candy and eat hot dogs and snacks. This was the 2nd yr for us to go there and Ethan really enjoys it. Doug made a haunted house this year in the back yard and Ethan was very excited about going in it. This is what he looked like afterwards....

He didn't like the chainsaw at the end. After a few tears he was ok and we went trick or treating. After trick or treating I asked him if he wanted to go with me through the haunted house and to my amazement he said yes. And again he was crying at the end. So I guess we will see if he remembers this next year.
