The non-Halloween parts of our week

Most of last week was prep for Halloween, and as you may have seen, there was a separtate post about that.  But this is the rest of what happened last week.

One morning Bennett and I had a conversation in the car about whether or not Doc and Blue (and Lance and Henry) eat manglewurzels.  I was pretty impressed because he picked up this new word on the first try.

And continuing with Bennett in the car, here's a couple of pictures of him looking extremely grown up this week.  Maybe it's the longer hair and the sweaters, but he just looks so much older to us all of a sudden.

 

And then on Sunday we went to Secret Lake to celebrate the various fall birthdays.

The first thing Bennett did when we got there was climb on Rosalind.  (Named after the Rosalind mentioned in Romeo and Juliet.)

Then we went outside for a walk and Grandpa had Bennett climb a big rock.

We later went for another walk and encountered a tree that had been partially cut down by a beaver.  We tried to get Bennett to pretend to be a beaver, but he wasn't interested.

Here we are enjoying our Fall birthday pumpkin cinnamon rolls.  (There were 5 of us with birthdays in Sep-Nov.)

And that sums up the rest of our week.
