Beggar's Night was tons of fun! It was very cold, but thankfully we had warm costumes. Ray had planned to be a race car driver, but opted instead to wear the warmer lion costume that Aunt Susan had given him. He got many great compliments, especially since our town's high school mascot is a lion.
Adam's "Charlotte" costume turned out great!(Thanks Mom!) He absolutely loved it and I think he looked so cute! The boys thought it was SO funny when one man told Adam he should have a candy bag for each of this hands.
It was funny to see the adults laughing at "Dilbert" and the children wondering who he was.
Both of the boys had just as much fun spending time on the porch passing out candy as they did trick-or-treating.
Adam fell in love with FLINT! He loved finding it and learning all about it.
The sign of a great learning day:
After the field trip, the boys used clay to make models of the mounds.
They put together boxes of "Hopewell Treasures" that included various elements/minerals that the Hopewell people used.
The next day they took a trip to the Ohio Historical Center. They saw the mastadon as well as many other animals native to Ohio.
Adam discovered more flint.
They even saw great scenes replicating the life/villages of the Hopewell people.
Here's Ray (and Adam's hands) with a prize winning pumpkin. The pumpkins in the picture below were the grand prize winners, maxing out at 1,622 pounds!
Here's Ray posing with his cousin Ava.
Adam cheering for the Buckeyes!
