The rock wall.

Joe and Gabe had off from school today for Columbus Day.

Here's Buddy, putting the final touches on the rock wall for the Halloween party.

Here's his first guinea pig/crash test dummy.

Climbing ... 

... but it was really difficult, because the "boom" was angled such that it was pulling him away from the wall.

Soccer practice.

Goalie is both boys' least favorite position.

When Max found this potato, his first thought was to give it to Buddy.  

Another carnival event will be shooting a dart gun ...

These foam board figures made fun targets.

Back to the rock wall.

Success!

Here's Brian working on the Hulk.  In the background you can see the yard art I've been working on.

Finished Frankenstein today.

At our house, the carnival has already begun!
