Halloween Spirit

Halloween is like the Buckeye football team. It just can't be beat! (What's that you say? The Wisconsin game. We aren't listening!) This time of year, there is a lot of both Halloween and Buckeye spirit in the Howell house. We found a way of combining the two.

October Gave A Party

October gave a party.

The leaves by hundreds came.

The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,
And Leaves of every name.

The Sunshine spread a carpet.
And everything was grand.

Miss Weather led the dancing.
Professor Wind the band.

Does this make him a "Chick Magnet"?

Half Man, Half Ape!?

One of the most bizarre pictures I have ever taken. Look how her reflection combines with the gorilla she is looking directly at. Click on the picture to see it larger. Wild!

Little Miss Muffet

Little Miss Muffet sat on a Tuffet,
Eating Her Curds and Weigh,
Along Came a Spider,
Who Sat Down Beside Her,
And Frightened Miss Muffet Away!

Boo at the Zoo

Today, I took Trent, Reed and Riley to the Columbus Zoo for Boo at the Zoo. It was a great day. Besides all the normal zoo fun, they had trick or treat stations and Halloween decorations. It was cloudy and cool which is our favorite zoo weather. The animals are much more active than in the heat of the summer. Since we only make it to the zoo about once a year, we are always surprised by how much has changed. It really keeps getting better and better. Polar bears joined the zoo this summer, and their new exhibit is really neat. They have also added a small amusement park to the zoo with about fifteen rides. By the time we made it over there, the kids were getting tired and were happy just choosing one ride each. Cole didn't go. He thinks he has outgrown the zoo. But can you really ever outgrow the zoo? I don't think so.
