Of course, there's the annual trip to the Pumpkin Patch, where we got the aforementioned pumpkins. Owen was diligently pulling his sister around the patch in a wagon, but...
It's always better with a friend's help! Owen's best friend Carson, and family, joined us for the outing.
The mini straw maze was no problem for the boys this year, but I may have seen Hadley climb over a couple of bales that were in her way. :)
The train ride is still a hit. The kids took over the caboose for their ride.
And don't forget climbing the hay mountain. It was a perfect place for the kids to enjoy their lollipops and take in the sights.
Our playgroup also had their annual Halloween party, so the kids got to try out their costumes a little early. Owen has been asking to be a ghost for a month, so I tried out a homemade version, which he was excited about. Hadley had no opinion, and I got a great deal on a lion costume! Must be the simple costumes and lack of modern devices, but doesn't this picture look like it could have been taken 40 years ago? :)
They did a good job decorating and doing some games for the kids. Since there was a bouncy house, Owen ditched the costume within 5 minutes. That was fine with me, so I don't have to make another one before trick-or-treating, but he was then just the boy with some white/black face paint and no other costume...
Hadley was probably most excited about a cupcake.
One of the games was to eat a donut without using your hand. This was highly entertaining to watch. Owen was all about it, holding his hands behind his back and chasing the donut around with his face. Hadley just knew she wanted that donut and quickly broke protocol.
Group shot: mine are on the tree fort. Hadley liked her costume so much that she did not want to take it off for her nap when she got home. Such a change from her brother at this age. (He was the Ewok who never wanted to wear the headpiece, and was thus just some kind of generic half-bear instead.)
