Halloween and Fall Fun

As always, we headed to Hillridge Farms this fall a few weeks ago to enjoy the crisp fall weather, the hayride, train ride, and to get some pumpkins.  Lilly enjoyed seeing the animals and watching the train go by. 

Hillridge Farm Hayride...Lilly wasn't impressed

While Matt and Bradyen were on the train ride, Lilly and I hung out.  I couldn't believe that she actually stood still long enough for me to take her picture in front of this sign!  We will have to do this every year now!

Picking out the perfect pumpkins!

 A week or so before Halloween, the kids daycare held a Fall Festival with games, prizes, and food.  They also said that the kids could dress up in their costumes if they wanted.  Our good friends Amy and John (Scooby-Doo) came with us.  Unfortunately, we hadn't finished getting Brayden's costume so he wasn't in full outfit yet.   The kids had a lot of fun playing and running around on the soccer field.  Brayden also got to show John around his school some.

 

When we got home from the Fall Festival, the missing part of Brayden's Halloween costume had arrived.  He was SO excited!!  He wore it ALL.THE.TIME when we were at home!!

 Once again, our small group got together and went trick or treating together.  This year we went to the Westfall's house, had dinner, and then ventured out with the kids.  Their neighborhood was great...just the right size and number of houses for our boys!

On the way to trick or treat. 

Note, the "tall football socks" that Brayden is wearing.  He has to dig in his drawer and find the socks that he can pull up the farthest every single day.  He says that football players wear tall socks and he is a football player (this all started LONG before Halloween).

Of course, we attempted several group shots, but with 3 4ish year old boys, and 4 1ish year old girls, it didn't go so well!  This is about the best that there is!
