Well - to the victor go the spoils. Not only did Team Ty finish first, but they beat Team AshElla by 5 minutes.

Obviously Team Ty didn't have to stop for directions to win this race.



It is good to see that you can still have a smile on your face and enjoy the race while finishing in second.




What sportsmanship from both teams after the race.

Even though the race was over, there still was the wager from the beginning of the race that had to be taken care of.



Good thing for Mommy there was no more room on the pumpkin-mobile.



At least for Ella and Ty this was a successful outing.




 

Two weeks later - we were told by Mommy and Daddy to pack our bags. Oh the excitement is building.. where are we off to?



Ty and Ashlyn think they have it figured out.. they think we are going on vacation.



We found ourselves at the zoo. I wonder who we could possibly run into.


While stopping for a break at the zoo, Ella and Ashlyn were stopped by this lovely lady looking for some directions - Oh Mommy and Daddy can be so tricky.



Uncle Matt wanted all of us to see if we could ride this Polar Bear- he said there was something he had to find out.

Adults they can be so confusing sometimes. That's all he told us - boy were we all glad we are kids!


That was it for that evening. Two days later we found ourselves back in the car for a half hour drive for something Uncle Matt wanted to show us. Surprises - they are so great.



Uncle Matt, Aunt Tiffany, Nicole and Grandma were going to meet us there. All we were told was to go the the last building and to wait at the second door on the right.

All we found was this horse called Fashion. Like we said, Adults - so confusing.

 


What a cool surprise. Fashion turned out to be Uncle Matt's horse. How cool was that?





 

Nothing like going from 80° to 20°. But this cup of hot coco and cookie sure makes is more bearable.

What is going on with these Raines' kids? Why is it that Christmas tree hunting means nap time for the youngest. Look on Mommy's lap.



Back at home -the decorating of the tree has already begun. The warmth of your own home and PJ's - can't beat it!
