Fall Fun

This month has been VERY busy. We have had lots of preparation for Halloween. Of course we had to take a family trip to the "pumpkin patch." We went to Harmon's here in Lexington and looked at the pumpkins, took pictures, took a turn on the swings and went to the "petting zoo." The petting zoo consists of lots of goats, chickens, rabbits and some other kind of bird that I could not tell you what on earth it was. My best guess would be a white peacock. Unfortunately the day that we went it was VERY windy, and Ben was starting with a cold so we did not stay very long. We were going to buy a pumpkin there but the line to pay for pumpkins was about 30 people long!! NO WAY! We still managed to get some cute pictures of the boys though, which is what I really wanted anyway.



Daycare had the Fall Festival on the 23rd. We took the boys because it is a BIG deal at school. Ben was still under the weather, but we bundled him up in his chicken suit and he managed through. Jack, the skunk, had a blast. They had games, a fire truck, ambulance, mounted police, hay ride, and a giant moon walk slide. The slide was the big hit of the night. We had to wait in line about 6 times for him to go down the slide. He was so small the teachers had to give him a boost and the teachers on top had to grab his hands and pull him up. It was kind of funny. I felt sorry for the teachers! Anyway, he thought it was the greatest thing, and that is all that matters. We had a wonderful time, and can't wait until next year when Ben can join the fun!
