Carving Pumpkins 08

We carved pumpkins on saturday and I don't know who was more disgusted with the pumpkin seeds--Christopher or Ford. They may not have liked the gooey mess but I think that everyone had fun anyway.

Let us out! Oct. 2008

Christopher, Gretta, Taz, and Ford trying to figure out an "escape" plan.

Camping in snow???

Who goes camping in the snow? We do! Well, not on purpose. We had been watching the weather all week and the snow wasnt supposed to arrive until late sat. night or sun. morning so we figured we would be ok to go friday and ride and come home saturday if it got too cold. Needless to say, we rode friday afternoon and woke up to snow saturday morning . Parker decided it was much warmer in the motorhome in a sleeping bag. All in all, it was worth the trip to be able to ride for a day and we didnt freeze to death.Maybe it will be warmer next weekend and we can try again.

GETTING "OUT OF TOWN" FOR A NIGHT

So who say's Parker can't have his iv antibiotics while camping? Sara and Lexy even started the campfire all by themselves! Yeah!

Parker's week of tonsilitis

To say the least, this has not been Parker's favorite week of fun times. He came down with sever tonsilitis on Monday and it all went downhill from there. He is now on IV antibiotic therapy for five days and steroid IV therapy for three days(and of course ,of all times ,it is homecoming week at school).Let's just say that Parker doesnt complain about being sick and he has been very , very , sick and a trooper through it all--even being patient with Ford and all of his doggy help. Hopefully, Parker is on the road to recovery and will soon be able to be a normal healthy teenager soon.
