Emily's Girl Scout troop had an activity at an archery range.  Emily and Brendan got to try their hands at shooting an arrow.  Unfortunately, the weather got bad and they only got to shoot once before we had to abort the mission and make a run for the car through the rain.

Below:

1. Emily shows off her balancing skills at a nearby playground.
2. Getting x-rays taken at the dentist
3. Playing with her brother; he is up in the tree!

Riding a horse with a 4-H leader.  She got a little lesson on grooming and riding.

Halloween: Brendan needed a costume for the Spooktacular Halloween Soiree at Haas Hall.  He is not much of a costume person, but fortunately we found this idea online and I was able to whip up a quick shirt for him.  

Finally, we did our annual pumpkin carving, but this year we did them with friends!

This month, we found out that Uncle Lee is in the hospital with COVID pneumonia.  We wanted to send him things to show we are thinking about him and praying for him.  Because he loves to fish, Brendan made this drawing to send him.  Unfortunately, Lee did not make it and passed away this month.
