On Friday, I took off and helped out at Camryn's school party. They had games to play and a parade through the school to show off their costumes to other little kids.

Here she is with her new friend at school "Cammie" although she's a Camryn too. Same spelling! Her teacher says they became fast friends.

And then Saturday trick or treating...
The two princesses. Camryn was Princess Jasmine. Charlotte got to be a purple princess, just like she wanted. The even cooler thing is she got this costume because she has hit the all too coveted potty training mile stone! Yea Charlotte!

This is about how the trick or treating went. Although this is at a house with just a sign and a bowl of goodies. Camryn would let Charlotte scope it out first. Once Charlotte got her candy, then Cam took that as the all clear. At the houses with people, she would walk halfway up the driveway, stop and say, "Go ahead Charlotte". Charlotte would go up and say "Happy Halloween" or "Trick or Treat!" Cam would run up next to her to escape having to say anything. On the times she did go first she'd go up there and freeze. Just staring at the person until they asked her if she'd like some candy. :) Poor Cam. She'll figure it out. Good thing she has Charlotte.

I absolutely LOVE this picture of Riley all bundled up. The costume was for up to 9 months and at 4 months she was technically too long for it. It must have been warm though. She just gave in and napped through the entire trick or treating.

Don't get in the way of Charlotte and her candy!

On Sunday afternoon we drove to Lone Elk park to hike. We made a scavenger hunt list to make the hike a little more interesting for Cam. She had a blast. Two hard things to find were red leaves, only a couple of trees had them in the park and a flower. Oh yeah, and the Yak, which Cam wanted to add. My favorite find was the stick the size of Camryn. We found one a few inches taller and when we held it up, she said it wasn't the same size as her, so we had to keep looking until she found a suitable match.

Linda and Carl met us there. Craig laughs about Lone Elk park. He says Carl used to ask him every nice Sunday afternoon if he wanted to go there. Craig said he always laughed about it with him. Carl was jealous of my scavenger hunt list idea. He said he wished he thought of that years ago. Ha!

Oh yea, and here's the "lone elk". Craig claims there's just one, hence the name of the park. So I just took a picture of the one and ignored the others hanging around when we first got there. We saw buffalo too!
