Happy Halloween

 

Halloween isn't nearly as fun when the kids are grown.  At least we still dressed up in my rehab clinic... as ICD10 (insurance) codes.  I was X06.2XXA, which is the code for "exposure to ignition or melting of clothing or apparel."  Also known as "pants on fire".  

Colby dressed up as... well, what he wears to work every single day.  But this time he wore it to a party with his friends.  Safety first. Nice that his employer can supply a Halloween costume like that.

And Reagan... was a taco in a sombrero.

She hung out with a friend and passed out candy to the littler kids.  I stayed home and did nothing.  BAH HUMBUG.  

A Gorgeous Morning

 I was on my way to work when I the sunrise just took my breath away.  I had to stop and capture the moment.  It's hard to see in these pictures, but the lake in the distance is covered in fog.  Just gorgeous.  

Putting Her To Bed for the Winter

It's been a gorgeous fall, and she stayed in the water just as long as she possibly could, but it's time.  November looms and she's the last boat in Chassell bay.  Goodbye, Second Wind, for the year.  Sleep well for the winter! 

You can tell it's fall when the water is warmer than the air, and the lake is covered by a blanket of fog.

 

Pumpkinhead fall photo shoot.

The colors are near peak at the moment, and I talked my daughter into to doing another senior photo shoot to capture them.  "Only IF...." says she "we can take some pictures that I choose, too."  Of course.  I'll always take pictures of my daughter if she asks.  But then she started carving a pumpkin, and I was confused.  You can probably see where this was headed....

First MY pics, though.  We headed to Chassell trails and got these beauties.  I love them.  

And then she said "now my turn.  Let's go to Houghton."  I think we may have scared a few people, but I have to admit... they turned out pretty cool!  Crazy kid.

 

Bowling with Boys

Quinn, Colby and I hit the lanes.  I started out strong with a strike and then steadily went downhill from there, as is my M.O.  Quinn taught us all a few things.  Reagan joined us after she got off work.  Good times, good times.
