Bay Lake

The kids had a ton of fun on the new playset Grandpa Jerry bought them!

Gretta had fun exploring her new hood.

Uncle Tyler helped Grant raise the swings.

Auntie Ashley (!) helped Hugh not fall several feet.

"What should we watch, Gretta?!"

 Lucky for us the new place came with an ORGAN!

 Future site of senior photo shots.

Evy was disappointed there were no peanuts in the basket, so Granny helped her refill it.

Not sure where they were headed, but I'm sure it was to do something exciting!

Evy and Granny made us lunch!

The Bowmans got to sleep in Grandpa Jerry's RV at the new cabin.  Hugh loved pretending to drive.

One night the heat went off but we all stayed warm under a mountain of blankets.  It was probably the closest to camping we'll ever come.

This was the only picture I got at Oktoberfest before my battery died.  At least there's a guy in lederhosen in the background.

Here she is...the Bowman Compound!  The boathouse (to the left) and the bunkhouse (to the right) are not pictured.

 Minutes later it started snowing.

Trick-or-Treating in Highland

Angela lent us Finn's alien costume--what a hoot!  Hugh got lots of smiles and the kids thought it was so funny how "fat" he was.

 He decided to rip open a sucker after his first stop.

 Evy is an "evil but pretty fairy" and Grant is a power ranger (again).

P.S.  Thanks to Grammy and Grandma for the Halloween cards!  The kids were very excited.
