Spidyween and the pumpkin patch......

Spiderman turned to the dark side....

Zack really wanted to paint spiderman's face, then Josh had the brilliant idea of making him in the darkside..
Here Josh is perfecting his spiderman darkside masterpiece...

Zack had a pillow to copy from.. It was neat, just the day before Nick and I had gone to Goodwill to shop and found this spiderman pillow and got it for Zack, just in time for him to use for his masterpiece

Nick carved ALL ON HIS OWN and I mean all on his own this Shrek look look alike.. He used the eyeballs for the ears.. He is very creative in doing crafts and genuinely enjoys them.

So cute.. Look at that neat pumpkin...

Here Zack is following the pattern of the pillow..

The end result, Spiderman, spidermand, doing the best that spidy can..

Here are the final results, the darkside of spiderman, then spiderman and mom's play around pumpkin patch pumpkin.. I hope we win something at the contest this Saturday at the annual harvest party at the Browns, where we will enter our pumpkin efforts...

My quilt work called the "Pumpkin Patch" up close...

My 3 little Cavemen...

Crystal Cave in Wisconsin

At the end of the cave, the boys got to do some panning for precious gems.. You got a large bag filled with sand, fossils and gems.. They had fun doing that...
Zack trying to catch any small loose gems that got away.

Daddy helping Nick with his pan..

The start of the panning process.

In one of the dark rooms deep down below (75 feet below), when the original boys who found this cave must have dropped a coin or stuck it in the wall, because there is a coin from the 1800's stuck and so the tradition is to make a wish and put a coin in the wall. It was filled with thousands of coins, but your wish would not come true if it fell out.. Of course deep below, we had no change with us and some nice man gave each of the boys a quarter..

Neat little cubbies below...

The caves sure do make some funky looking scary walls.

Several of the walls looked like Ghosts and weird faces..

Some neat Stalactite or some big word like that.. If you even touch the wall, it turns black.. It takes hundreds of years just to make these small ones..

Nick at the end of a tunnel.. they are excavating and making more tunnels.. Some for crawling through, splunking and so on.

See if you can make any faces out of this wall..

They call this the refrigerator.. You can make out what looks like a coke bottle, a muffin, a carrot hanging from the ceiling..

Cool and awesome.
