Trick-or-treating in Walter and Denise's neighborhood!
Max and Saskia at the fall festival in our neighborhood.
Max's first county fair! He loved it. :-)
Check out the grip Max's seatmate (whom we do not know) has on his shirt! (Also, the giant loop in the background goes to another ride -- not the kiddie roller coaster.)
Family photo waiting for a show to start at the fair!
Max smiling like our jack-o-lantern.
We went on a hike and Max wanted to carry the backpack with snacks and water. I think he handed it over by the time we reached the end of our street - ha!
Max designed the face!
Costume parade at school!
Cotton candy with buddies Hudson and Abigail.
Max's teacher, Mrs. Rawla!
Soccer team end-of-season party! A great season with sweet teammates, and talented coaches.
