We made it outside to go to the park. I'm surprised these things are still being installed in parks. I think everyone has been bucked off them at some point. Though I guess we have all survived.
While my parents were visiting, we went to Lake MacBride. Though many of the trees had already lost their leaves or they turned from red to brown already, it was still magnificant! Wally had a great time climbing, fishing, and who knows what else he was doing with Grandma, Papa, and his imaginary friend Oso.
Not too shaby!
I think he knows he is cute!
This is what happens when Joel goes to work while my parents are in town...last time it was holes in the porch roof, this time it was a hole in our kitchen!
Thanks Mom and Dad! I love my new cabinets!
We did play a little while they were here. We went to the Children's Museum. They have a new airplane room. Not sure who enjoyed it more, Papa or Wally. 
Bath time with Grandma and Papa is always more fun than with Mom and Dad.
Now to Halloween. We had a party at the Coop for all of the kids. We had games, trick-or-treating, and snacks. All in all a great time. It was so much fun to see all of the kids in costume! Wally made a pretty good spider-throwing cowboy.
Wally apparently had a good time at the party. We stopped by Joel's lab on the way home to show off his cowboy costume. He was out cold very shortly after leaving the lab.
That night was family fun night at the mall, so we went with Stacy and Sander. The boys have discovered the arcade next to the museum. They don't mind if we don't put money into the games. We later made it to the museum. Wally was so excited to see the airplanes again that he bolted as soon as we got there. We needed to tickets to get into the airplane room, so we were looking all over for Wally. Finally a friend of ours asked the airplane room bouncers if she could look for a lost child in there. Sure enough, there was Wally. We explained to him that he can't just run off from us like that and if he did that again, we would go home and not go to the airplane room again. Well, after a few minutes, I saw him run out of the room we were in and down the hall. By the time I dodged other parents and kids, he was no where to be found. This time, we found him coming out of the men's bathroom. He was so pround of himself because he had washed his hand (what?). Anyway, we told him that we had to leave the museum because he had run away from us again. I have never seen a kid so sad. He was so sad that I almost cried! But, we went home anyway. Maybe next time.
Saturday (Halloween) we carved Wally's pumpkin that Sander's Papa had given him.
It took him a while to get the nerve up to dig into the pumpkin, but he did.
First Wally "carved" the pumpkin with his markers. Then Daddy had a go at it with a knife.
Nicely done Daddy!
That night we went trick-or-treating with Sander, Stacy, Van and Levi. The boys had a great time. I really think Wally was meant to be a cowboy! Wally didn't want his picture taken in this video, so he was pouting. I love how kids can change emotions so quickly!
