Pals Reunited, Climb Fence and Raise Ruckus
So our friend Jenny has a blog (as you may have noticed in our blog roll at right). She’s got this cute little guy (Owen) who’s Joshua’s age. Sadly, they thought Oregon was a cooler place to live than Cache Valley and beat a hasty retreat a couple months ago, leaving Mari-Catherine and Joshua all sad and crying drippy tears of longing, abandonment and sorrow into their respective pillows. Luckily, these fine folks have some serious familial roots around here, so the little gentlemen are able to have a reunion every few months- which they happily did at the “Halloweenie Roast”. Jenny’s got the whole thing covered in her blog if you’d like to read it here. Our camera battery died on said expedition, so I’m stealing this fantastic pic and posting it under the protection of fair use laws.
As for the Halloween extravaganza you’ll see pictured after the jump? All homemade. We were invited to it last year (see a toothless and happy Joshua below) and effort these folks put into making their little Paradise “farm” a kids Halloween dream come true is a feat to be reconed with. I mean, with a life-sized Optimus Prime made from everything (and maybe including) the kitchen sink, you know it’s good.
I’m sorry I’ve been slacking, I’ll get you more pictues. There are many more great shots. (Mari-Catherine took some too on my camera, the transformer was hers.) Have a fabulous Halloween, I’m really sad we won’t get to stop by the Vinton’s for a full size candy bar.
See, Mari-Catherine!? SEE! The full sized candy-bars are legend!
Did you REALLY pass out full sized candy bars? Wow. Those dang lucky kids in your neighborhood.
I REALLY did. Of course, only 10 kids came through, so now I’ve got the next 10 pounds on my butt laid out for me.
