Halloween Fun

We started Halloween early this year. Everett actually let me put a costume on him which is very different from last year. We went to the Candy Hunt at Lakeside Park and First Baptist's Fall Festival with Aunt Shelby, Griffin and Carlie. We had a BLAST! And seriously...I know he's my kid, but have you ever seen a cuter scarecrow in your whole dang life!! I know I haven't. Seriously.

Camping at Lake Guntersville

We had a great time camping last week. The campground at Lake Guntersville State Park was beautiful and, as you can see from the pictures, there were deer EVERYWHERE. It was cool to see them so close, though a little disturbing that they were so comfortable around people.

The weather was not great, but we saw Cathedral Caverns which was really cool. Everett had fun picking up leaves and watching the deer. He loves camping and is already asking to go again.

Montgomery Zoo

Last Friday, Donnie had some unexpected time off from work, so we took Everett to the zoo in Montgomery. We had been before when Everett was a baby...it was nice to see the growth of the little zoo. They have a beautiful open area where the girafffes, elephants, zebras, antelope, big birds, etc are kept. Some of the enclosures are just separated by water, so you can look out and see all of the animals. It's really cool. Plus they have elephants which haven't been in B'ham for a while. Ev was very excited...ok, so I was very excited. The river otter exhibit is really pretty and has a waterfall...gotta love the otters! Anyway, it's a cool little zoo and a great day trip.
