Fall Festival

A couple weekends ago, we went to a Fall Festival at the park.  They had a DJ where the kids could dance, a magic show, face painting, food and each kid got a pumpkin to decorate.  It was a lot of fun.  Landon wanted to take Lili with us and they had a blast together.  Lili turns 5 tomorrow so she is a year and a half older than Landon, but they get along really well.  We are so lucky to have such wonderful neighbors all around us!

Such a fun night!

Fun on the Farm

On Friday, October 12, we didn't have school.  So, a lady we teach with invited a bunch of us out to her farm for the day.  She had crafts for the kids, she let them ride one of her horses, play in the barn and she even made lunch for everyone!  Jeannie is a great lady and it was really sweet of her to let us all invade her house and farm for the afternoon! We had a great time and the kids had a blast!  Here are a few pics from our day!  Keegan was there too, but he was a great little boy and just sat in his stroller or slept the whole time so we don't have any pictures of him.  

Some of the kids at the craft table.  Landon painted a wooden horse and horse shoe.  He put magnets on the back so he could hang them on the fridge!

 

 All ready to ride the horse with his helmet on....what a silly pose!

 I think Landon was a little nervous at first to get on the horse, but he got right up there and then loved it.  He didn't want to get off the horse and made MANY laps around the yard.

Playing with the kids in the barn.  Probably not such a good idea to put Landon in fleece pants....he had hay stuck all over him :)

Sesame Place

We went to Sesame Place the first weekend in October for "Count's Halloween Spooktacular".  We had a great time, like always!  The weather was about 75 and sunny....a beautiful day.  Here are some pictures from our day.  I'm sure you know all the characters and rides by now :)

Landon was very excited because they really emphasized the "Count" theme throughout the whole park this year.  Here are a few pics of Landon by all the "Count" themed things!

Cookie Monster Bush

 Since it was a Halloween weekend, the characters were all in their costumes.  Ernie was dressed as Rubber Duckie!

 On the swings

 On Sesame Street

Landon with both of us on the roller coaster

 The kids were able to trick-or-treat all day and Landon dressed up like Count towards the end of the day!

 The boys loved the merry go round!

 Keegan looks so big sitting on his horse :)

 Before Landon changed into his full "Count" costume, he just put his cape on for a picture with Count.  

 Standing Oscar....Landon loves when he is standing and out of his trash can.  He says that is the "nice" Oscar!

 Keegan loved Oscar too!

 A couple cute pics of the boys on the steps.

 Hands up!

 Landon also took his "Bones" costume just in case Elmo was dressed in his again.  He was and we got a cute pic!

 Abby dressed as a Lady Bug

 Landon got picked to dance in the parade again.  He did great and had a blast!

 Love this pic!

 Finally Landon got to see Count for a minute when he was all dressed up.  Count LOVED Landon's costume and gave him a big hug and posed for some pictures.

 Another fun trip to Sesame Place!!!
