Happy Halloween!

We had a lovely Halloween.  We spent the whole day at my parents' house today.  It was a nice day, and Carl and Garrett spent part of the day playing Lightsabers in the front yard. 

Then we carved pumpkins with my parents.  Garrett enjoyed helping his dad carve, and when they were done with that, Garrett drew faces on a couple of little pumpkins.

It wasn't too cold for trick-or treating, and Garrett had lots of fun and got lots of candy.  Afterward he had fun helping my mom pass out the candy to the other trick-or-treaters.

Happy Halloween!

Wheeler Farm

We'd been wanting to go to Wheeler Farm for a while now.  Last night I realized that we only had a few days left before Halloween, so we thought we'd better hurry and go, even though it was already getting dark by the time we made it over there.

Even though it was so dark, we still had a good time.  We saw the cows and chickens, and we went through the corn/hay maze, which Garrett loved.  We even went on the tractor ride, though by then it was pretty cold.  Next year we'll try to make it earlier in the season so we can enjoy ourselves a bit more. :)

The Pumpkin Patch Part 2

We really like Halloween.  So we always go to multiple pumpkin patches every year.  It's fun for Garrett to run around, and we like to see the different decorations at each one.  Also, we love to take lots and lots of pictures of Garrett, so it's a good excuse for us.

Yesterday we went to a little nursery near our house.  They have a cute little pumpkin patch there, and it's Garrett's favorite.  He had a lot of fun, but he was not loving the camera.  Usually he'll put up with us taking quite a few pictures before he is done, but yesterday he didn't want us taking any.  We finally managed to get a few.  We even got a cute shot with Garrett and his grandpa.

The Witches Are Out!

Every fall we go see the witches at Gardner Village.  We started doing this the year Garrett was born, and now it's one of the traditions that we HAVE to do every year. 

We went last week and had a lot of fun.  We saw all the witches, searched for fish in the pond, did a little shopping, got some pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, and Garrett had some cotton candy.  A ladybug even landed on Carl's shirt, which Garrett thought was fascinating.  It was a good day.

Frightmares

We finally made it to Lagoon Frightmares last Saturday.  We missed it last year and didn't want to miss it again.  My friend Freda and her youngest son Taegan came too.  It turned out to be absolutely freezing.  It felt more like winter weather than fall weather, but after a while the sun came out and it got a lot better.

I thought Garrett would have fun in the Little Spook-a-Boo walk through they have for little kids, but he got scared and refused to go in.  He just recently started being scared of things for some reason.  So I went in with Freda and Taegan and we got Garrett's trick or treat candy for him.

Garrett did have fun going on lots of rides.  His favorites were the little dragon rollercoaster, and then the ladybug and dinosaur rocket rides.  He is really going to love big rollercoasters when he gets bigger.  He and Taegan also had fun running around and playing by the water fountains.

We also got some really cute pictures.  Lagoon always looks so fun and festive for Frightmares.  I love all of their Halloween decorations.  Halloween is the best.
