Trick or Treat

Every year at Awana we have a costume night the week of Halloween. These were our costumes for the night.


and here are the girls with best friend, Lowen

This year Halloween fell on a Sunday. We spent the afternoon with my dad and family. First, we had a cook out at a near by park.

Then the little ones put their costumes on and headed out for some candy.

Trick or Treating was a first for Ella and Wren, and after a few houses, they got the swing of things. I didn't take very many photos, because I was enjoying our walk.

The photos I did get were pretty funny. This photo looks like my dad is breaking into someones house, and Wren is about to destroy their pumpkin. Too funny.

It was a fun evening.

The Pumpkin Patch

The Pumpkin Patch is my one of my favorite places to be, especially in the fall. I feel like this family event marks the beginning of all the holidays, and my favorite season fall. The girls also love coming here. They enjoy the hayrides, and running through all the pumpkins. Then of course picking out the best pumpkin they can carry.

This year, we went with our friends the Gwinns(-Zach) The girls were adorable together, and so much fun to watch.

Fall Fair

I LOVE the fair. It really is a great event. Yes, I meant event. Let me explain. First, it marks the beginning of fall. Second, no where can you go and see the kind of unique people that come to the fair. Pure entertainment. Third, you get to eat a ton of fried food and then spin around and around till you are sick. Now this is pure enjoyment. Now if you think I am crazy, then I know you have never been to the fair.

This year, Matt and I went without the girls. Another fun date night.

Then I had a little fun with the camera.

The next morning, Matt took the girls. This was Ella's third time to the fair, and she was a pro. She loved the rides and petting zoo. Wren still hasn't found her grove yet, and refused to ride any rides. Next year, I am hoping for a better attitude. I am sure she will warm up to the idea soon enough.
