Derek's 8th birthday

Sunday afternoon our neighbor Derek invited us over for a spooky birthday party in his backyard. The kids competed in a variety of games -- from mummy wrapping to vampire rubber duck tossing -- and enjoyed the theme treats, including mummified hot dogs and Jell-O brains.

Linc got second behind the birthday boy in the vampire duck toss!

The novelty didn't last. He only ate 3 bites.
