Lexie's Link: October 2006

October 31st, 2006.

Chance was in NC last Halloween and Lexie was too young to go out Trick-or-Treating, so this was the first time for both of the kids. As you can see in the pictures we went all out this year.

Yo-ho, Yo-ho a pirate's life for me!

I was thinking of wearing the cap, but decided against it

Both kids did pretty well with the candy as there weren't too many trick-or-treaters in our neighborhood.

Surprise 30th! October 28th, 2006.

So I turned 30 on Sunday the 29th - but we celebrated on the 28th. Little did I know that a surprise party had been in the works for quite some time. Dana did a great job of planning, and folks came in costumes. I will try to post some pics of the actual entrance as they become available to me - I did not arrive in costume.

Everyone awaiting my arrival.

Cop and Robber...yours truly went with the inexpensive costume

Dana and Chance's Trip to Disney World. October 10th-15th, 2006.

Several family members were visiting from Scotland: My Uncle David, cousin David and his wife Paula along with their twins Nicole and Kyle. It had been planned for months that the crew was going to take a trip to Disney World. There happened to be extra room for the trip down and Dana and Chance went along as well. Lexie and I spent the week together back in PA. Some good pics and videos below from the trip to the sunshine state. I believe Dana and Chance spent the last day together at the Magic Kingdom which would explain the last few sets.

I believe the first day was spent at the Magic Kingdom.

I know the crew stayed at the Polynesian Resort, this set is from breakfast one morning. Disney characters are always there in the mornings for autograph sessions. First pic is with Pluto.
