Two Exciting Updates, Plus Camping and Trunk-or-Treat

#1 Hilton is WALKING!
16 months old and he is finally walking around everywhere we will let him. 
#2 We got a new boxer!  
We drove to Nashville and adopted Louie from Middle TN Boxer Rescue.  We had been watching him for a couple of weeks online and once we passed the background checks we got to go meet him.  He is doing great and has really adjusted wonderfully.  He is somewhere between 3-5 1/2 yrs old.  
We had a great time at our church family camp out.  I tried some new camping Pinterest recipes and they all were great: cinnamon rolls in oranges, chocolate brownies in oranges, breakfast casseroles, chicken fajitas, and steak.  Aylin was so proud of herself to get to ride her bike with the big kids and Hilton really branched out and let other people hold him, it's the little things. 
We also had our annual Trunk-or-Treat.  Aylin decided she wanted to be Cruella De Ville and Hilton to be a dalmatian puppy.  She told Bobby and I that we could be her "goons."  I was very pleased with Aylin's costume, I found the outfit at Walmart (one of their fall styles) and bought the boa and accessories from a Halloween store.  We could not find a dalmatian costume anywhere in Hilton's size so I bought a cow costume and cut off the horns and braided part of the tail.
