October: I Love This Time of Year!

We have had a pretty great October so far. I try to take my kids and do as many activities before the cold weather hits. So far we have went to Gardner's Village to eat Breakfast with a Witch. We went to the American Heritage Center and played in the corn maze and went down the huge slide. We went to the Ogden Nature Center for their Creatures of the Night . We didn't see Jenny Frame and we were very sad that we didn't. We have also went to the Logan Pumpkin Walk. We have several more activities planned for the next two weeks before Halloween. 
I taught my kids how to make bead spiders. Noah made his all by himself except the body. I have never seen a five year old concentrate on something for as long as he did. He was determined to finish it. Karly however wasn't too excited about finishing. So I had to finish hers :). 



My mom had her annual Halloween party. It's always fun to see all of the cousins costumes and my kids love getting together with them and playing. 


Noah decided he wanted to be Frankenstein this year and Karly wanted to be a scary witch with a green face.

We went up to the Logan Pumpkin Walk. Boy did we pick a BAD day to go. About half way through, it started to downpour. So we walked back to the car and waited it out. It started to clear so we decided to try walking around again. About  halfway around it started to downpour again and the backdrops were flying in the sky. We headed for the car really fast and decided that we shouldn't try it for a third time. 

This was the first scene Karly ran to. She wanted to be Cinderella so bad. I think she makes a pretty darn cute one. 




Don't look too closely at this picture. That Buzz Light year sure is creepy!





I thought this giraffe was so cute made out of pumpkins.


Karly had to get a picture with Minnie and Mickey. She wants to go back to Disney Land so bad.

Breakfast With a Witch

My mom and I took my kids to Gardners Village. It was CRAZY BUSY. I have never seen so many people there at one time. We had breakfast with the witches. My kids got to ride the ponies and go to the petting zoo. All Karly could talk about was riding the pony. She had to wear her cowgirl boots and she kept saying YEE-HAW and how her name was Cowgirl Karly Lee. We also went on the ride to a witch. My kids loved it. It was fun OVERLOAD! I love being able to do fun things with my kids. It's so fun to watch it through their eyes and how much they believe in things. Noah is at such a fun age. He sees the humor in things but he also believes everything. My kids loved the witches.
