We went to Top of the Hill for the Butch Davis Radio Show on Wednesday night. Hayley got the man himself to sign her ‘I Support Butch’ shirt. (and no, Jeff didn’t come with us, hahaha)

Know how you can tell Hayley is getting older? Less photos. She went to a costume party as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz on Friday night and I got no photos. Then on Halloween she had her friend Mia come over to trick or treat, I got one photo and *poof* they were off into the night.
The Hippie and Skeleton Witch
Although, we did do tons of fun Halloween stuff this year. Since we all loved to be scared silly, we watched stacks of horror movies and went to haunted houses. Jeff and Hayley went to a scary night time corn maze and got so spooked, she fell over and took him with her – haha. Then we did the Clayton Fear Farm, the hayride was lots of fun. Lordy this child loves anything scary and yes we’ve relented finally on some of her horror movie requests – still no extreme gore tho. Thank goodness Halloween is my favorite holiday!

We headed to Williamsburg and spent a few days at Busch Gardens with my friend Nicole and her son Mason. We both remember going as kids and thought it would be a fun trip to do together since Mason is now in a year round school down in Wilmington. Halloween at Busch Gardens was fantastic – thank goodness we went up Thursday night so we hit it Friday morning when the crowds were light because by Saturday it was packed full of people. What was very cool was how it changed at 6pm from kid friendly Halloween to MOTHER OF GOD he has a chainsaw. Hayley, who like me loves all things scary and horrible, had me go to every scary haunted house they had but boy oh boy did she get spooked by one character as we were leaving the park.
I went on more rides than I thought I would – the log ride was the best and The Lochness Monster was intense. People were really friendly, Busch Gardens was amazingly clean and the prices were better than we expected. We stayed at a great condo and as always had a great time with Nicole and Mason. Twenty years since Nicole and I pledged together, still adore her.

We went to Castle McCulloch to pan for gem, gold and fossil last weekend. We met up with Hayley’s first/birthmom, sister Faith and her first/birthmom’s husband Scotty. Hayley had been dying to do it and this place was a fun little adventure. She also took my camera and took a bunch of photos of the castle and grounds.

I have to add my notes still but our trip to Illinois was fantastic! Here are most of our Chicago pictures- from the W hotel on Lakeshore, Art Institute of Chicago, Gino’s East for deep dish pizza, fireworks cruise on Lake Michigan, Shedd Aquarium, mani/pedis with Grandma Sharen, Ryan & Jill’s wedding, family hanging out ones, the window getting busted and more. I still have to add the pictures from meeting and petting the penguins behind the scenes at Shedd Aquarium. Most of the aquarium and artwork photos are Hayley’s photos.
I love this photo of Hayley dancing with her cousin Ryan.
And this video of her nailing him leaving the church to head to the reception. Ryan was about Hayley’s age at our wedding and nailed us leaving too. Revenge is sweet!
