The Spoils of Victory!!

What do a 50 lb. 7 year-old, and her 160+ lb. dad have in common: "Me and Dad are meat-eaters, Mom!"



I taught her everything she knows!



After clutching victory from the jowls of her competitors, the Huntress is ready to enjoy the gains of her labor. Those wings never had a chance. I'm so proud of my little carnivore!!

Side note: after devouring like a dozen hawaiian wings, she had a couple of helpings of fries and 3 or 4 celery sticks for good measure.

Boo!

Well it's late October and it's time to get into the spirit of the season. And what better way to do so than carve a pumpkin with your favorite uncle. So I hope you enjoy these pics as much as I enjoyed the carving.




For starters you have to clean out the pumpkin, and it seems this a rather fun activity for both the young and not old.



Next comes the drawing of the face....



We're almost there and apparently this carving has taken on quite the serious tone. No time to mess around uncle, let's finish this bad boy. (By the way notice the large amount of seeds we were able to get for roasting...mmmmm, can't wait)



Yeah, almost done. One last step before we have our first full blown official carving.



Thats right, a little light and now we have a happy jack-o-lantern. Now that the pumpkin is ready for the event I wonder what our little headache will do the commerate the coming holiday.
Check in later and maybe we will have the answer.

Hello Pardners and Welcome...

What do October, a 100 gallon hat, and fried food have in commen? That's right, it's Fair time!
So just follow the sign below and enjoy the fun that is the State Fair of Texas.


Hmmm, I do believe I've seen this picture before. But somehow it looks different.


She ate that cotton candy so fast that it's just a blur.


You have to enjoy the rides when you're at the fair. Right Dad?


Well it was a long day with shows, rides, food, and fun. So we bid the Fair ado and begin counting the days till next October when we will do it all over again. And maybe, just maybe that cow will have a another face to greet us. Stay tuned.
