Halloween on the Lawn

Another year, another Halloween on the Lawn. Zara is a candy acquiring pro, and being a bug with a light up bum made it very easy to zip in and out and in between to attain maximal goodies. We brought the Pegasus costume Zara wore in 2007 when she was a bit older than Amity is now (just over 2 as opposed to a few months shy of 2). Amity wore it for a few minutes and then decided that she'd rather explore. She and Wes found some leaf piles to play in and some bubbles to chase. All in all, everyone had fun.

Ginter Gardens, 2 Ways

The first 3 pictures were taken by Zara. We gave her the "nice camera" to use during the trip, which is now the oldest (digital) camera in our possession and has the nice feature of a wrist strap, so it's of good use to the 6 year old set. As expected, she took some blurry photos and some photos of "nothing." I was fairly surprised by how well some of her pics came out. How cool is the depth of field on the rose? How awesome are those green reedy things? How cute is Amity?

The rest of the pictures, in grand Bromberg/Craig tradition, are Wes' meta-commentrary on our trip. Zara taking a picture of Amity, the girls climbing a tree, and all 3 of us doing the visiting the botanical garden thing. I'm not sure what was going on in the last picture, but I believe Amity was threatening to nap in the middle of the walkway.
