Our annual family tradition- Brookgreen Garden's "Pumpkin Festival!" |
The girls with their pumpkins! |
Noelle and Kylie hunt through the pumpkin patch in search of just the perfect pumpkin. |
Kylie scores a perfect pumpkin!! |
Noelle is quite pleased with her choice of pumpkin. |
Live entertainment |
Noelle begins painting her masterpiece |
Kylie wants a Hello Kitty on her pumpkin, but she can't figure out how to make one. |
Kylie asks Daddy to draw her a Hello Kitty on her pumpkin |
Daddy draws Hello Kitty, and Kylie colors it in! |
Noelle, never one to be outdone by her sister, decides she wants a Hello Kitty too. Daddy draws it, and she paints it. |
Noelle gets her face painted |
Kylie waits till Mommy isn't looking and then tells the nice lady to paint a skull and cross bones on her hand. What??!!! |
Pretty butterfly! |
Look, Mom!! A skull!! (I can only imagine what the teen years will be like) |
Noelle shows off her butterfly |
Jumping in the haystacks |
Climbing to the top |
Noelle leaps into the hay! |
Kylie is too scared to jump and chooses to tentatively step down off the mountain. |

The scarecrow building contest |
My favorite scarecrow |
Kylie's favorite scarecrow |
The competition turns ugly... prime suspect: Scarecrow casually standing nearby with the golf club (murder weapon). |
Daddy and his girls |

Brett and Noelle looking for turtles |
We took the opportunity to spend some time teaching Noelle about photography and lighting. |
Kylie and her friend Mr. The Pig |
3 years ago, Noelle only stood as tall as Mr. The Pig's hoof. Mr. The Pig has become our annual measuring stick for growth. |
Kylie with Mother Bear |
Just taking a picture for the jacket cover of the book I will someday write called "Stuff my kids say" :-) |
Noelle practices her photography skills while Kylie stands by giving pointers and general backseat driving. |
Daddy wrestles a panther! |
Kylie wants to wrestle the panther too! |
Me and my girls! |
