Family

We took the train back to St. Louis to visit family and the kids actually enjoyed most of the ride.  Ashley was scared of the train arriving, but once on board they had fun and it's much easier to entertain them when not in the car although it does take a little longer.

Since it was the weekend after Halloween my parents had their party for all the kids and everyone wore their costumes.  Of course I had forgotten to pack theirs so a walmart sale had to do, but unfortunately I couldn't find a costume there for Ash.  I was able to create Waldo with the wardrobe we had on hand which was a huge hit and the adults had way to much fun with it.  The kids had fun with the games and even went on the haunted trail after dark multiple times!

We also got family pictures since the last time we had done that was pre-Ben/Ash.  The kids were all troopers and the weather cooperated really well even though it was late in the season.  Here's a few of my favorite pics.

Funny Faces!
