Pumpkins & Adventures In The Corn Maze

We LOVE this time of year when fall comes and we start to get in the spirit of the various Holidays that come between now and the 1st of the year.

One of our favorite Fall activities is to go pumpkin hunting at a GREAT pumpkin farm we came across last year in Star. They have the BEST pumpkins we've ever seen! They come in so many colors, sizes, shapes, etc. It's great. We usually get several and decorate both inside and out. Not to mention it usually takes the kids quite some time to pick out the PERFECT pumpkin.

We had to have a silly picture :)

We also hit the corn Maze last week as it has become a family tradition. We thought as the kids were getting a little older it would be fun to take them when it started to get a little dark out. We would then proceed through the maze with our flashlights. Big Mistake! Our evening of what we thought was going to be fun, turned out disastrous. Not even 5 minutes into the corn maze, both kids were complaining of being scared ( mostly because of the added spooky sounds teenagers were making as they made there way through the maze) Nonetheless, we only lasted about 15 minutes before turning around and heading back out. Luckily, we were able to get our tickets back and we went back the next day in the daylight and spent a couple hours having a great time.

Blake wanted to use the camera to take a picture of Steve & I. Of course Steve is NEVER serious when the kids try to get a picture of him. It's actually pretty funny. He loves to give them a hard time.

Blakey & Mom ( he tells me he's to old to be called Blakey, but he's so darn cute, I just can't resist!)

When everyone decided we weren't having any fun, we at least need to get the scared face, as well as the silly face pictures before we could call it a night. When all was said and done, we ended up renting a fun Halloween movie along with popcorn and treats. :)
