Well its been a bit since my last post. Ill try not to let this happen much. Just had a bunch of stuff happen in the last couple weeks (including the Broncos problems) that has put me in a "non blogging" mood. All of that is changing though. Lets do some catch up. Weeks ago, the kids and us went to St. Louis for the zoo and to spend the night. We had a wonderful time as usual. Well actually the time was a bit better than usual now that I have the good camera. Got some excellent photos.We went to the Hartsburg pumpkin festival this month and was a bit disappointed. Its no longer a little event. It seems EVERYONE knows about it now and due to the larger number of people, it seems to be less of a "kids" attraction and more of a trinket sellers market. Last weekend and yesterday we went to Six Flags. You may be thinking...2 times in 2 weeks!?! Darn skippy! Got season passes and you know Ill get my moneys worth! Six Flags in October turns into a spooky fun time called Fright Fest. This will probably take place of the Hartsburg thing from now on. The kids loved it! When the sun goes down, the haunted houses open up and the spooks come out to scare everyone. Quite a fun time. Next week we have nothing to do (kids sports are over) and we are happy about that. Time to take a weekend off cuz the week after that its off to Branson for the light festival. I look forward to that every year. During all the hustle and bustle of the holidays, I think all of us at some point or another have fallen into the rut of turning the Christmas holiday into a bit of a stressful time with what to buy whom and how much money it will take and forget what it is all about. Branson brings that part back for me. We are going to start a new trend. Those of you who know me know how I used to be. No Christmas anything until Thanksgiving is over....NO MORE! I want to have a long Christmas every year so from now on our Christmas starts November 1. I would start it earlier but it seems weird with skeletons and zombies hanging everywhere.
Look for my next couple posts to be pictures. I have the new camera and have taken some good shots of our October events.
Sorry again for the non blogging lately. Rest assured (ehem...Nikki & Chad..ehem), I'm back.
