Halloween!!

We took our kids out of school on Halloween so that we could join Amanda and Steve in Fort Worth to see the stockyards and go to the US Bureau of Treasury and Engraving (where they make paper money). We had a great time! At the stockyards, the pictures of the longhorn cattle are a part of a cattle drive through town that happens there daily. It wasn't really a drive or stampede, but more of a mope and stroll. We also went to where they make money. It was interesting to see all of the big machines and all of the safeguards to avoid counterfitting. At night, we all went together trick or treating in our neighborhood. The picture of the kids in front of our house with the zombies dancing is right before we went. The girl you don't recognize is Sydney's friend from church.

We had such a fun trip with ya'll. I am glad that you all got out of school to hang out with us and go to cowboy town and watch the money machines... thanks for letting us be a part of an awesome Halloween vacation. We loved seeing where you live and chill-in with ya'll for a while. Long live Fuzzies. Steve was hoping we'd have time to stop there on the way home. Oh well. We'll save it for out "springtime texas trip"---as Lily would say.

Amanda, it was a downer to wake up today and not have you guys here. The kids came home from school yesterday and were really sad that you were gone. Thank you for coming and spending time with us. We had a GREAT time! Y'all come back now, y'hear?

Listen to you all trying to be Texan! I loved the pictures. I wish we could have been there to enjoy the week with you guys. Maybe you can all come to Arizona for January!
