Boo! Elise and I made a spooky ghost tree for our backyard. We saved some of our pop and beer cans (cleaned of course) and painted them white with black eyes. Then we hung them with pipe cleaners one evening after dinner. I tried telling her that there wasn't any more beer in them but Elise tried to see if a sip remained. No such luck.
Nana and Poppa came to visit this past weekend. Since the weather was fabulous, we visited Fort Meigs- a battlefield from the war of 1812. Elise even wore a headband for the outing. All we wanted to do was run and play in the field but Elise insisted that we stop and read each sign and discuss the significance the war had on our lives. She's such a history buff.
After all the hard wor
k, she treated us to lunch along with a chocolate bacon sundae from Swig (yep you heard that right- yummy!).
On Sunday, Elise, Nana and I went to the Grand Rapids Applebutter Festival. The highlight was that from the parking lot to the festival downtown, you had to ride school buses. Elise's first trip on a bus! The picture is blurry but you can see that she's ecstatic to be riding on a bus like a big girl! The fun peaked with the bus as Elise isn't much into crafts. However we did see Aunt Amy, Grandma and their friends there and they seemed to be having a lot of fun.
After the applebutter festival, we stopped at Grahams Farm in order to buy a mum for our front porch.The mums were gigantic and beautiful... row after row of color. Elise thought they all smelled good.

Hopefully Elise purchased a history book at the Fort Meigs book store.

OK, so I've totally stolen your beer can/ghost decorations for my house! :)
