The Pumpkin Patch and Halloween

For preschool we got to go to the Pumpkin Patch in Farmington.  I had never been there, but it was so much fun! It is definitely going to be a part of our family's Halloween traditions. 

When you first get there the kids can run around in hay bail maze,

It is perfect for parents because you can see their little heads, and it's more fun than challenge.


There are also places you can poke your head through and take a picture.

But the best part is, of course, picking a pumpkin. We loaded all of the kids into these wagon/handcarts that they have there.

The kids loved it!

We went so far back into the pumpkin patch that we found and fed some horses.

Mae was ticked pink to feed the horses, while Henry was scared to death!

Then we came back and paid for our pumpkins and they were pretty cheap! Ours was only $2.50.

Fun and festive!

For Halloween Mae was a "Pirate Princess"  because she wanted to be something a little scary but still girly, so it was perfect for her.

After we put all that makeup on her she said, "Wow Mom! Putting on makeup is sure fun!"  (Should I be worried for her teen years?)

Henry was a skeleton.  I knew he wouldn't sit still long enough for me to do any makeup on him, so I spiked his hair.  He ended up looking like he was 12 years old...

Jordan took them trick-or-treating up the hill, and they ran into some of our neighbors. Fun!

At each house Mae would take two treats, on for her and one for Henry. She chose which one she wanted first and then slipped the other into his bag.  Sweet!
