This Halloween Jennifer put together a great party for Mia's class. The big fun came from first turning a classmate into a mummy followed by the always popular, cupcake decorating.
It may not sound like much, but from the photos, the kids seemed to love it.

The first Trunk or Treat sponsored by the Jackson Park PTO was last night. Jennifer did a great job putting together decorations for our truck. While we did not win the official prize for the best decorated car, the smokey witches brew, was a big hit with kids and adults alike.

What would the end of kindergarten be without a taking a walk to the local park for a picnic?

The two kindergarten clasess from Jackson Park Elementary School took a trip to the St. Louis Zoo. Above is the Animoto video made from the photos taken during the outing and the photos can all be found in the Jackson Park School gallery under Children heading on www.jeffreyphoto.com
The boy scouts of Jackson Park School, held their annual chili cook off and I was there with my camera. Mostly I was playing with the Pentax 16-50mm f/2.8 lens that I rented and wanted to see how it worked in the low light. It did a good job, but trying to add a little fill light with just the camera’s built in flash caused a nasty round shadow at the bottom of the image. Typical for a large lens with lens hood on.
Olivia’s brownie troop was there selling desserts that really hit the spot after trying to taste 20 different chili recipes. 
I was then asked by Mr. Barnes to get some photos of the award winners. He sure does appear to have fun being the emcee.
All the photos from the evening are available at jeffreyphoto.com in Events.
