Trick or Treat!!

Four of Four posts from our Wisconsin Trip... you have to click on older posts to see them all... too many photo ops to resist!

We packed a lot into our Halloween day.  We started off with a hearty breakfast and then headed out to Cave Point to enjoy another amazing Wisconsin fall day.  Greg and Steve got to watch the Packers win at a proper small town Wisconsin bar (a real highlight for Greg!).  And said goodbye to Gaga.  Our visit was coming to an end, but there were so many more memories to be made!


Norah Lou Whoo!

  Norah was so spoiled to have such an able and attentive companion as Aurelia.  

Surprise number two:  
Gaga is here for the weekend!!!

On the hammock

Under the hammock... as to how they got there, Norah is still trying to figure that out!

Aurelia reads Norah a story
In the sweet new hoodie that my Aunt Liz made for Norah.  Just perfect for fall days and Oregon winters!  Thanks Liz!!!

Ready... Set.... GO!


Norah, Nana and Gaga

Norah loves to experiment with architecture.

Cave Point.  Beautiful.

Gimpa taking it all in.

Lori and Nelson make their way to the shore.

Norah shows Daddy all the fun puddles to throw rocks into.

Can you imagine a better spot?!?
Aurelia holds still long enough for me to snap a great framable photo!

Gimpa get's Nelson on his feet.

Mama's boy

There are no words for how cute this is.

Norah and Aurelia enjoy nature's playground.

Norah and Gaga have a good giggle in their glasses before Gaga had to drive all the way across Wisconsin to get home.  
Thanks for making the trip Gaga!  
It wouldn't have been the same with out you!

After a good afternoon nap the Ballerina Beauties took to the streets with their entourage in search of sweet treats to eat! 

Norah meets Sonic the Hedgehog.  (That's not some homeless lady off the street... it's me.  I was a gypsy, or as Greg said, a camera-happy carpet lady.  Either way I got my cut of candy!)

Trick or Treat!!!

Norah loved carrying around her Punkee.

Our last stop was the best house of all, 
with Gimpa giving out tootsie rolls.

Washing off all the sticky ickys

So happy together.

All Hollow's Eve


The girls loved to take advantage of the pool at Stone Harbor.

Sleeping mama and sleeping baby.

Norah calls the telephone 'hey-yo'!

Aurelia, the big sister Norah always wanted!

I love this one... it's like their teenagers already!!  Scary!

But really they're just goof girls!  Whew!

Goofy indeed!

Norah with her Purpo bear

These girls were practice ballerinas by the time Halloween came around!

It's a dance party!

Norah's no feather-weight, but she loves being flung around!

Gettin' down!

And now winding down....

Zonetown.
