"Hello, Little Girl!!!"

Camping season has now officially ended. G went up last weekend while I was up at the Cape and got everything closed/covered up tight for the Winter. The sheets of plywood are on the roof to protect against falling branches and the tarp is covering the trailer and secured tightly with bungee cords. Inside the water has been completely pumped from the lines and antifreeze has been run through the lines to keep them from freezing. Everything inside has been covered with plastic dropcloths, and all the towels/sheets etc. which weren't brought home have been packed into space bags and stowed in the various storage compartments inside the trailer. Of course all the food has been removed and I honestly think we have enough bags of chips and cans of soup and Chef Boyardee pasta to live through the Winter on. We've also removed all liquids, our neighbors told us you'd be surprised at what will freeze.


So that's all done, but I did save a few pictures I took up there a few weeks ago. Seems there was this little girl skipping around the mountain wearing a red hooded cape. She was happy as could be till a wolf started following her around, and I assure you, he was definitely of the "Big Bad" variety.


We've wanted the kids to do costumes that went together for Halloween, but with their age difference it was tricky coming up with something. Then one day I was reading K the story of Red Riding Hood, and she said "Can I be her for Halloween?"
I told her she could, and R, who was nearby, said "Well, I'd be the wolf, as long as it was a cool wolf costume." So anyway, we found a cool wolf costume at Target of all places, and K's was custom made by a woman on eBay, and I can't believe the beautiful work she did. I got it uber fast too..., especially since she didn't start making it till I emailed her with the size, and I had it within five days after sending that email. Anyway, she has alot of costumes and I think I'll order from her in the future. If anyone is interested in checking out her eBay store, email me, as I don't want to post it here.

Anyway I thought, in light of what their costumes are, I thought it might be fun to have a photo session up on the mountain, so a few weeks ago we did one. I hope you enjoy the results. The kids really had a fun time posing and really played their parts well.

Alright, I guess that's it for this trip into Storybookland.... Later!
