Turkey Shoot

(No turkeys were harmed during the making of this memory.)

Our church held a turkey shoot for the children today. Chris took Ethan so he could learn about gun safety. After a brief training session, they allowed the kids to shoot at a target three times for a practice round. After that, they held the turkey shoot competition. First place was a frozen turkey, second place was turkey bacon, and third place was a package of turkey hot dogs. Ethan won third place for his age division. I told Ethan that his Papa in Ohio would be so proud of him. I may have to drive him up to Ohio in a few years to have Papa teach him how to hunt. I would love to have freezer full of deer meat.

HalloweenTinker Bell & Peter Pan

(Tyler had a Tinker Bell on his shoulder too)

Our church had a harvest party this year. It was supposed to be a trunk or treat but it was moved inside due to rain. I was so proud of our church. Pastor Chris arranged a great evening and did a wonderful job. There were blow up bouncy toys in the gym and games. Everyone got candy just for participating. (My kind of party.) There was a band performing in another room. Tyler was called on stage to perform with them. In typical Tyler style, he stole the show. He sang and danced his heart out and the band gave him a cd.

There was a parade of costumes and lots of candy. (I love candy!) Our good friends, the Mann's, joined us for the evening. It was a blast! There was a costume contest and our family won! I was shocked. We won a Wii from the church. It was a great night. I told the boys that we will use the Wii to help buy a PS3. I think my husband is more excited about this then the boys. It would be unbearable if we had to watch the new Star Trek on anything but blue ray.



We ended the evening at my brother's house. Thank you Douglass' for opening up your doors and scaring us. Chris, my brother, set up a leaf blower with a garbage bag tied to it to scare the trick or treaters. Tyler loved it!



If you are local and looking for Halloween fun next year, consider North Cleveland Church of God. It was great and I am so thankful that our church provided a fun, family activity.
