....we made our yearly trip up to the punkin patch. we found some lovely punkins, rode the tractor, went thru the corn maze....
....then we carved them....oh and todd's aunt nancy and his cousin lucas were out for a visit from denver, so they helped carve too. really strong punkin work this year. fun to have a little variety with the new carving talent in the house.
....todd and the kids went to a halloween party...isn't he beautiful? the little girls at the party thought he was a princess....
...then the big day came and we got our costumes on.
lucy was rapunzel, and she loved her long hair ('tangled' the movie inspired many a little girls costume this year)
....and riley was a grim reaper, minus the scathe.
....nancy and lucas went trick or treating with us too....
....they all got a good candy haul but more importantly had a lot of fun.
AND this should probably be a separate post but here are a few pictures from nancy and lucas's visit. it was super great to have them out for a visit, and share our world with them.
...lucas is an avid skateboarder and he achieved semi-celebrity status in our house (and actually in our small town) by the time he left.
...he can also jump freakishly high
....todd got him out on some mountain biking trails which he enjoyed...
.....and he got to help with the chickens, plus swing on a tire swing to complete the 'city kid visits the country' experience.
it was a great visit and the kids were especially sad to see lucas go!!!
.....hope you are all enjoying your fall adventures as well!
