Happy Halloween, Darth Vader!

Halloween for Neil was full of so many great things. First, he had a wonderful Halloween play performance at his school. After his performance, he got a real surprise...Don Mattingly visited his class and gave each student an autograph!

Next, he had trick-or-treating. Neil has become fascinated with Star Wars in the past few months and so he chose to be Darth Vader for Halloween this year. He had a great time going trick or treating with Grandpa Keller.

Fun filled Saturday

Last Saturday, Neil had a great deal of fun! We went to the Evansville Art Museum to learn about Day of Dead in Mexico. They currently have a fabulous exhibit which includes paintings, prints, photos and displays that show the uniqueness and beauty of this wonderful celebration.

After that, we went to a great traveling exhibit about the Civil War in Indiana. It was part of the Indiana History Train that makes stops throughout the state. Neil even got to meet Abraham Lincoln!

Lastly, we finished off the day with pumpkin picking. Neil new exactly what kind of pumpkins he wanted especially for his jack-o-lantern.

Overall, it was a full day, but what a great day!!!
