October Fun

 I love the Fall. There are so many fun activities for kids during this time of year. Here are the activities that we took advantage of this year. We decided that Cornbelly's was fun enough last year that it was worth a return visit. The girls loved this big slide. They each did it at least 5 times.

 They both loved the Princess play land also. Ashley was so excited because the dress that the worker chose for her had a butterfly on it.

 We walked through the corn maze, they played on a lot of wooden play structures, they played games, and rode a lot of little trains. We had a lot of fun and will probably go back again next year.

 I also took the girls over to a pumpkin patch across the street from the entrance to our neighborhood. It wasn't as big as Cornbelly's, but the pumpkins were a whole lot cheaper there. It was also a windy and cold night, so they didn't have all of the activities open. The girls had fun though and the owners were really nice so we will probably get our pumpkins from them again next year.

 This is on the hay ride out to the pumpkin patch.

 I took the girls to a Halloween party at our community rec center. Ashley was so excited about getting to meet the Chik-fil-A cow. That is her favorite place to eat and she always gets so excited when she sees anything related to Chik-Fil-A.

 And of course there was Trick or Treating on Halloween. We actually went down to Provo to trick or treat in the afternoon and then came home to do some more. Danny was nice enough to take them out in the evening since I was worn out from the afternoon trick or treating. Alyssa was really excited to hand out candy this year, so she didn't go out for very long in our neighborhood. It was nice having her around to answer the door and hand out candy. (in case you can't tell, Ashley was a spider and Alyssa was a bride/princess)

 Ashley got to go on her first field trip of the year with her preschool class. They went to a pumpkin patch(that's right, she did 3 pumpkin patches this year). She got to walk through the farm and look at all of the vegetables, play a little bit, and pick out a pumpkin.

 On Halloween, she also got to wear her costume to preschool. Here she is with her class.

A couple of days after Halloween, Alyssa had her first performance of Winnie the Pooh. Her part in the play was one of the narrators and her costume was a dove. She enjoyed doing the play and is asking for me to sign her up for the next one.

I am having the hardest time keeping motivated to update our blog. I will try to be better about it in order to have more posts that don't end up being so long. We are doing well and enjoying the season.
