Halloween 2008 Indiana Jones Costume

This year's costume turned out great! We went to party city to look for ideas and J saw an Indiana Jones hat and it was decided at that moment he would be Indy for this halloween. The costume at the store was not in his size and was very fake/cheap looking. So I went online to look for ideas and found the 'official' indiana jones hat at the lucasfilms website. The pants, shoes, belt we had already. I found a 'safari' shirt online at cabela's. The whip and gun were just cheap little things we found. I really wanted to make a duct tape whip...but I just didn't have the time. The scruffy beard was done with a pirate makeup kit that came from walgreens. We just dabbed a sponge into the black makeup and stippled it on.

These are just some funny teeth that came with the makeup I bought to do the Indiana Jones beard.

Scottish Heritage Days

We took a trip to a local museum last weekend and discovered that they were celebrating 'Scottish Heritage Days' complete with bagpipers!

This is Phantom the Border Collie. We had a great time watching him herd ducks.

J got to haul some buckets of water to experience child labor in the 1700's!


I am always facinated by blacksmiths

We were able to watch this woman card the wool, spin the wool, and knit the wool!

Our Latest Fishing Trip

This is a picture of our latest fishing trip. Who thinks to call ahead to see if the lake is still there??? It is closed for some sort of maintenance. We did have fun exploring the dessicated lake bed. We found a few frogs, and some spiders. We released our bait worms.
