Saturday the Main Library had all the kids who come to story time dress up in their Halloween costumes.  They were able to see witches, bats, monsters and go trick or treating all over the library.  They even made stew with eyeballs, worms, frogs and more bats!

Rachael was a zebra, but everyone kept guessing her for a cat?!?!  Slane was a dog and everyone knew what he was.  It was even more fun when Aunt Nancy joined us!

Audubon Park October 23, 2011

Sunday was beautiful so we walked in the Audubon park.  I wanted the kids to collect leaves for a place mat project and while we were walking Teresa noticed what she thought was a piece of dirt.  To me it looked like a piece of pavement from the trail.  When we came upon it we found it was a baby snapping turtle.  He was exactly the same color as the pavement and would have been smashed by one of the cyclists.  It was chili, which is why we are guessing he couldn’t move well so we put him back in the grass.

For the last 20 minutes of the show they had their Carnival performers dance for us.  This was some of the best food on the island.

Aruba 2011 The California Lighthouse

Our trip to The California Lighthouse was great.  It is on one of the highest points on the island and is named after the american ship, California, which sunk off the coast here 2 years before the lighthouse was built.
We had lunch on a beach near by and were harassed by these blue lizards looking for hand outs.
