No More Training Wheels!!

This afternoon we took the girls to the Muddy Creek Greenway in order for Ron to teach McKenna to ride her bike without training wheels. In just 2 tries she was off and running! We were amazed and proud at how quickly she got the hang of it!! See for yourself...

By George, I think she's got it!

And away she goes!

A trip to the NC Zoo

The girls had a long fall break this year. For the first half we took the girls to Asheville for Halloween. The second half we ventured to the North Carolina Zoo. It was an overcast day, and being a Monday, we had the zoo mostly to ourself. Here's some of what we saw and did...

Happy Halloween!

This year for Halloween, McKenna decided to go as Batgirl and Molly wanted to be a Pink Poodle (named Fifi). I was particularly proud of McKenna's cape, mask and bat-ears that I made from a sequined dress found at goodwill. I also used the collar of the dress to make Molly's "dog tag".

This year we went to Asheville to spend Halloween with their cousins. McKenna, Molly, Maren and Emma had a great time together trick-or-treating. Actually, it was a real treat for Ron and I to get to see them all together and take them around on Halloween evening.


Here are the Garner Girls dressed as: Minnie Mouse, Batgirl, Fifi the Pink Poodle, and a Pretty Witch.
