Halloween!!!! and Pumpkins!!!!!

We always like to go to a pumpkin patch for picking our pumpkins.  I suppose that most people do.  We love the patches where you can actually pick your pumpkin off a vine.  Last years was a bit of a disappointment, so we tried a new one this year.  It was perfect!  Pumpkins still on the vine for the picking!  It also had some great games, haystack climbs, corn kernel pit and the best corn maze we have ever been in!

Looking for the perfect pumpkins.
This was Hunter's job.  He loved it.
This maze was awesome.  We couldn't see anything and got so lost.  It was set up as a "Clue" type game, we had to find all the suspects and weapons to find out "who ate all the corn".  It was so much fun and we didn't even finish it, even after two attempts.
 Carving at it's best!



We ended up with some great pumpkins this year!
Our ward/church Halloween party and Trunk or Treat.
We have never done a family theme before, but with the new Peanut's movie coming out, the girls really wanted to do a Peanut's theme for Halloween.
It was so much fun!  We ended up with me as Sally and Matt as my Linus.  Anya is Charlie Brown dressed up for Halloween.  Cora is Lucy, and the boys are Snoopy and Woodstock.  Hannah was our Great Pumpkin.
For Trunk or Treat we decorated our car like a pumpkin patch.  You can kind of see the white pickets in the back ground.

We spent Halloween with our good friends the Turner's again.  They have a great Trick or Treating neighborhood!
Halloween night!
 Much to my, and Anya's, disappointment, the boys wanted to dress out of character for Halloween.  So our theme did not stick after Trunk or Treat.  The boys wanted to raid their dress up bin and decided to be an Army guy and Storm trooper.



 So Cora picked up the slack and saved the day.  We at least have 3 peanuts (sort of) characters.  
The great Pumpkin, Snoopy and good old Chuck.

It was a fun night and we had Halloween candy that lasted until after Thanksgiving.
