Thursday night we attended Night Eyes at the zoo in Des Moines. Marie got to trick-or-treat around the zoo in the dark as we followed a path lit by all kinds of spooky lighting and figurines. The best part of the night was being right by the lion as he roared at all the trick-or-treaters walking by. 
We continued celebrating Halloween this weekend with a trip to NW Iowa to visit our families. First we stopped in Spencer to spend some time with Grammy and Papa. Marie loved helping Grammy make pumpkin cookies for Daddy and Papa while they were gone hunting. It was a welcomed warm treat for them when they returned.
On Saturday night we headed to Granville to attend the annual Halloween Party. Chris & Mindy were in charge this year so we were there to help run the games and contests. Marie absolutely loved running around with her cousins Abby, Alissa, Whitnee, and Brandon. They were all helping her do the fish pond and bean bag toss games over and over again.
Marie even won a prize for her costume!
In other news....poor Charlie had a rough weekend. While enjoying his first weekend of hunting this fall, he injured his ACL in his back right leg which will require surgery. This will be his 3rd surgery: 2 on his back left leg and now this one on his back right leg. He is in quite a bit of pain right now so he in on meds and we will be consulting with a specialist this week to find out which type of surgery is necessary and how soon...keep our bud in your thoughts this week please.
