Trick or treat...I'll bite your feet.

Not sure many people have had a shark show up at their door asking for candy, but that's just what happened this Halloween. Brooklynn's cousins Anna Kate, Lauren, and little Marlee all showed up to race around our subdivision collecting all sorts of goodies. Blake even got into it quite a bit this year. Afterwards, we all went to Mimi and Papa's for some smores around the campfire.

The 2008 EP Picnic

My company Erwin-Penland held their annual picnic at Paris Mountain State Park this year and it was a fun time for all. Brooklynn had a great time playing with the other kids that were there, especially her new friends Skylar and Brecken Ford. She also didn't seem too thrilled to watch her daddy shove his face into a pie again. She's not quite at the "Dad, you're embarrassing me" phase, but I think we're getting close.

The Annual "Boo in the Zoo"

Every Halloween the Greenville Zoo has their "Boo in the Zoo" event, which is a time where all the kids can dress up, walk through the zoo, and receive some treats from different vendor along the way. We took Brooklynn and Blake this year and they just had a ball. Of course, Brooklynn had to be a shark this year, and Joy took it a step furthur turning her into a ballerina shark. I honestly have never heard so many comments about one costume in my entire life. Hers was definitely a huge hit!

Half a funny face

Brooklynn's "funny face" always involves a finger pulling on either side of her mouth. In this instance, she seems to have given it half the effort.
