Fall Festival 2009

We've been going to the festival for a few years now 'cause it is AWESOME! The girls love the bungie bounce.

Pumpkin Carving

Ashlyn waited patiently to carve pumpkins this year. There just never seemed to be enough time in the day. So, one evening when Kiley was at a sleep over, she went for it. Of course she picked a princess crown for her pumpkin in true Ashlyn fashion!

Riverbend Farms

This year we went to Riverbend Farms to pick our pumpkins. We came back with 5, for less than $20; What a deal! At this farm, there are lots of things for the kids to do including some major slides made from silos and a pumpkin house. We had a great time! We love fall (except for the breathing issues associated with it)!

Fall Festival

On Halloween, it's become a tradition to go to a Fall Festival at a local church. It's a great time and the girls loved the bungee jump. Kiley even did 3 flips in the air on this thing. We got there early enough that they had three turns before the lines were too long. We met the Morales' there and had another fun fall day! Somehow, all my pictures were before the Morales' arrived?

Did I mention October was field trip month??

Craig took the girls to The Amazing Maize Maze. They ended up on the hunt with the McCoys. They had a great time, although I think it took 2 and 1/2 hours to get through it.

October was field trip month.

Later in October we went to Riverbend Farms pumpkin patch. This was the best place we've been yet for pumpkins. Lots to do. They had emus, bison, billy goats, horse, cow, turkeys, play area made from farm equipment and a grain silo, indian and bee areas, and a HUGE slide! It was a blast, we spent most of the day there and came home with lots of pumpkins.

Apple Orchard Field Trip

In October, we went on a field trip to Apple Hill Orchard with Classical Conversations. It was lots of fun! They showed us how they sort the apples, make apple cider, and all about bees. Bees are brought in to pollinate the fields. Did you know that the female bee feeds the male? Interesting.....
