Trick or Treat (woof woof)

Our cute little puppy, she was not feeling so secure on the trunk of the car. We took her trick or treating at the down town North Platte 11th annual Halloween trick or treat around local businesses. We really liked the money tree idea and wished we had one with some real cash on it :)
Crossing the street to find the fun.
Piper couldn't say trick or treat so we had her say woof woof instead, so cuted she said it out the side of her mouth. If you look close you can see which side was her bark.
Meeting the big black cat
Hello Big Bird
This is Sparky the fire house dog.
They even let her sit in the drivers seat of the fire truck.
We went sledding that night rather than trick or treating because we didn't feel much like knocking doors to people we don't know. This is basically the ONLY hill in North Platte. She loved the sledding and always was the first person to sit on the sled when it was on the ground. It was dark so the pictures didn't turn out the best.

Halloween and Nebraska

Piper's first experience with snow. Piper's first step into some "deep" snow, she stopped there and cried because it was cold.
Then she tried to pick it up and learn more about it.

It is getting taller
A finished snowman who promptly fell over :(
Piper driving her John Deer tractor in the snow, she loves vehicles that move!
After one night of snow this is what we ended up with. Piper is 31 inches tall and you can see the snow was pretty high up on her. We shoveled for a while to get cars out.


The start of the pumpkin clean out. Piper tried to use a spoon...

She quickly figured out her hand worked so much better.






Each time she picked up a handful she would say eww or yucky.

We did not get the end result of the carved pumpkin but this was the last of the goop pulled out. Piper had a blast and I think her Dad enjoyed it aswell. Wes found a power tool for pumpkin carving. Proof that he knows how to use it. Grandpa Joe made this rocking horse for Wes when he was a little boy. Piper loved it! She also found the glasses to be very entertaining.
