Halloween Parade - Jack

You would have thought that Jack's school would have been more organized for their Halloween parade but it was chaotic!  There were more parents then kids and luckily I was able to get some pictures of the Jack in his parade.  This year Jack went as the Joker from Batman:

His friend Ian in his hazmat Ebola costume:

Classmates:

Ha-ha...I just like this one because it looks like Jack is giving me the finger:

Halloween Parade - Stacy

As luck would have it, I would be off for two days from work and I was able to attend both Stacy and Jack's school Halloween parades.  First up was Stacy's parade.  Stacy wanted to be Elsa from Frozen but we figured there would be lots and lots of Elsa's so Stacy went as Princess Sophia from Sophia the first:

Lot's of princesses and super heroes:

We met Toshi at the pumpkin patch:

Perfect timing...Stacy was done getting her face painted and riding the pony so now she was all set to take pictures:

I like this one...felt spooky looking:

Pumpkins!

The kids thought the 'wart' pumpkins were nasty looking:

Pumpkin Patch Part 1...

We have been so busy in October that we got a late start to the Halloween festivities.  We waited until the last weekend before Halloween to visit a pumpkin patch.  We went to the Cottone Pumpkin patch in Torrance:

Facepainted a skull and crossbone in pink to get into the Halloween spirit!

Big Bear Part 10...

I definitely can use more days like this!  No fish but still had a good time in Big Bear.   Since we did not catch any fish we had to pose with these fish pillows instead!

Big Bear Part 9...

We had so many hole in ones that Grandpa and Grandma wanted to get in on the action so we went miniature golfing again!  We crushed it again as there were hole in ones to be found!

Big Bear Part 8...

Today was going to be our day!  We are ready to catch some fish!!

Or are we???

Sadly, we did not.  Two days in row not even ONE bite!  I mean it is one thing to go fishing and miss a few opportunities but not even a nibble...ugh.

Grandpa & Jack:

The Eberly's in action....sleep mode.

Big Bear Part 7....

Rough day on the lake for the twenty-something year old:

Stacy and Jack on the swing:

Stacy and I missed the sunset the first day but we were sure to catch it the second night!

Playing Clue...man I suck at Clue.   Once I get about 75%, I just make an educated guess...sadly I was wrong every time!

Big Bear Part 6...

Time goes by so quick.  I remember when I had to help Jack swing the mini-golf club like the way I help Stacy swing the club.  Now, Jack wants to do everything himself...even if he is frustrated when he loses.

Jack wasn't doing well and was a little upset that Stacy had a better score than him.  Jack was lining up to putt his ball and he whacked it.  The ball went off the course, ricocheted and well....you can watch for yourself:

Big Bear Part 5...

We might not have caught any fish but we got a whole bunch of hole in ones!!   After fishing we went to play some miniature golf and lo and behold we had lots of skill at sinking putts!!

Uncle Bryan was the first one to get a hole in one:

Jack got in on the action:

Oh hell no...Aya got a hole in one!

Even Stacy knocked one in!!

Talk about pressure...thank goodness I got a hole in one as well!!

Big Bear Part 4...

When I was younger I used to see those bumper stickers that said, "A bad day fishing is still better than being at work."  I used to think what a dumb sticker...no one wants a bad day fishing.  Now that I am older, I totally get it.  Sure I would have loved to catch some fish but it sure was nice being out in the sun, on the lake with family!

We might not have caught any fish but we pulled up anchor early and let Jack drive the pontoon around:

Aya and Stacy:

Rare, family photo where I am actually in the picture!

Shut out on day one but hopefully tomorrow will be the day!!
