This & That...

I see you!


A gull at the SC Aquarium.

This is MoMo's "MMMmmm!" face.

One little Indian boy!

Oh MoMo!

Here are a few shots of the newest member of our family, MoMo. She's an 8-year-old Catalina Macaw.

Thirsty???















She's finally getting used to the kids enough to let them hold her, with adult supervison, of course! (Bribery with a nice nut helps, too!)

Look out! He's escaping!!!

Boy Scout Camporee!

November 8 was the Boy Scout Camporee. It was the first overnight trip we went on with Benjamin's Cub Scout Den. The kids had a great time. Weather was beautiful on Saturday, but COLD that night!

Spike got to come too. I think he nearly sprained his tongue, there were so many new faces to lick!

Mackenzie decorating a neckerchief, and then modeling it.

Spooktacular Fun!

Here, Kitty, Kitty, Kitty!



Benjamin the ninja.

We decided to have Mackenzie's birthday party a week and a half early, so she could have a combination Birthday/Halloween party. The kids had a blast, and enjoyed getting to wear their costumes again, even if it was November 1st! :)

The cheeseball was supposed to be a goblin, but he kind of turned into a mouse!
