Trick or Treat

This is the time of year that people dress up in costumes to get some candy.  A little suprised I could not dig up a picture of me dressed up as Dracula - as I am reasonably certain that I wore that same costume for 7 straight years.   Anyway - here is the tribute to costumes....

Me and the Brownie uniform.  I was into cross-dressing before it was vogue

Anybody want to be Robin ??  Anyone ??

"Am I a clown ? Do I amuse you ?

Kelsey as a girl Power Ranger.  I miss those days...

People shut off their lights when they saw this crowd coming to their door.

Jake O Lantern

Not exactly sure if this a costume or I was just heading to school

Was not aware that my uncle Gary was knighted

Umm - Kath a little old to be trick or treating ?

My favorite - Pull-Up Man !

Animal Attraction

With the exception of my younger brother and his cats, there is not a huge animal lover in the family.  The Kuhn side seems to have a bit more affinity for the canine creatures.  Here is a batch of pictures celebrating the family interacting with various creatures in God's Kingdom.

Try to avert your eyes from the ladies shorts and look at the Elk !  I am going to have Karen and Kelsey try and recreate this photo this summer in Yellowstone.

She still has people eating out of her hands.

Looking pretty natural up on that horse.

Can I bring him home ?

We need some hand sanitizer - STAT !

Turtles are a very underrated animal. 

Does he ever move ?

We drove 3000 miles for this ?

Pretty sure Dede understands the Dolphin speak

My wife's favorite animal.

Let go - I need to get to Tom Thumb

Don't want to get too close

Before Kibble

Who looks happier - me or the horse ?

Animal adventures in the McMahon backyard

Jake trying share Bear's meal

Kibble - looking guilty as usual

Como

Mom and a fluffy dog

Grandpa Kuhn

One of the lighter moments with Kibble

Nice STP pants Jeffy !

Cousins

While in Minnesota a few weeks ago, I reconnected with my cousin Bruce who I had not seen in probably 30 years.  Growing up my cousins were either significantly older and/or lived in a different part of the country.  I am glad my kids have a bunch of cousins that live in the area that they are able to connect with frequently.   Also looking forward to another couple of cousins being added to the clan next month.  This blog entry is a tribute to cousins.

Hmm - who cut Jake's hair

I am not nervous - I am sure my cousin Kelsey has everything under control.

Good times on the H2Olen roadtrip
