Fall is in the Air?

One would never know that it's fall--the weather still reaches 80 degrees in the daytime, we are still cutting the lawns, and you still have to run the air conditioner--but all of this without the dreaded humidity that we felt all summer.  This is the reason people choose to live in Florida!

 In George's effort to be a good citizen of the community, I think he got into grass that was a little more than the little, old, dilapidated tractor could handle!  But, being the "never say never" person that he is, he just kept trying!

 Pictures that make me smile:  Papa and Lola started watching a movie together.  I think both Papa and Lola must have gotten bored with it--Papa fell asleep, Lola started decorating Papa.  When I went in to see why it was so quiet in the t.v. room--I couldn't help but run and get my camera.  The flash woke Papa up--he had no idea he had a bowl on his head or a box on his tummy.  So funny!

 School Health Fair.   For the past three years, Amy has had a booth had the School Health Fair--you know, nothing better to raise the spirits than some new jewelry.  Amy and Alison work together (hence, the A & A Jewelry).  Amy worked for two days before the Health Fair began to categorize and label all the jewelry.  She was so organized!  I just helped in the booth on the day of the fair.  It really was a lot of fun--but we both were dead afterwards!  Retail is definitely a lot of standing on your feet!

Trunk or Treat.  One of George and my favorite events of the year at the church is the Trunk or Treat party near Halloween.  George and I were decorating our car when Jeff and Amy's family arrived. 

No comments on the decorations - I have been using some of these since 1984!  Seriously!

 Garrett and Isaac were heroes--

 Lola was a princess, of course--Cinderella.

 No princess can have a string on her dress, so Papa got the scissors to cut it off . . .

 then away they went to the party.

 Good thing Cinderella took off her white gloves!

 The next few pictures have to be shown in sequence because they tell such an adorable story.  This is McKenzie--one of Lola's favorite friends.

 They really love each other and play together every week when their moms go to exercise class.

 They were being very daring, petting the spider. 

 But, suddenly a skeleton started screeching and falling out of the car!  (Sorry, couldn't get their faces and the skeleton, too!)

 Close-up of their reaction.

 The skeleton stops screeching and moving--they are in awe!

 Oh, my gosh!  Did you see that!

 Let's get out of here!

 Isaac and Garrett loved the bounce house almost as much as going around to the cars for candy.

 Grandpa George is known as the "Candy Man" in the ward.  All the little kids know he will give them lots and lots of candy at our car!  (This keeps our two dentist sons, as well as all other dentists, in business!  Hah!)

 These two little girls absolutely love George--aka Candy Man, and were so disappointed when we were on our cruise last year, and he wasn't there to share his candy.

 And me--well, you know how much I love to take pictures, so that was what I did.  Love it!

 Amy and her dad.

 Jeff and Amy and their family.  Do you think Lola is still thinking about the skeleton?

Until next year's Trunk or Treat party--Bye, for now!
