The boys love to visit Old MacDonald's Farm, which is a fun ranch like place with multiple play ground areas, swimming pool, train ride, pony rides, farm animals and roaming deer. The boys were very lucky to have Grandma "G" come visit in October and take her along to one of their favorite places. They also have a pumpkin patch, and we took home 2 free small pumpkins. (The ones they are holding.)
We also attended the Halloween party in Benders Landing, the neighborhood we will be building our house in, in 2 years. Unforunately, it felt like July and not October, all the chocolate melted in the buckets they were given!! But the boys loved seeing all the large pumpkins, and we took home 2 more free pumpkins. I'm not sure where these large pumpkins came from, but they lasted forever. They sat in our kitchen until mid-January, without a single bad spot. After months of delay, we finally took the time to open them and roast the seeds, yum, yum!!!
On Halloween day, I had the boys decorate, paint each of their 3 pumpkins, yes that was a total of 6 free pumpkins this year. Painting pumpkins at this age is much more enjoyable than carving!! The mini-pumpkins came from the zoo. We happened to go to the zoo with G and Jorgy during Zoo-Boo, and the boys got candy and the pumpkins. I think that about wraps up Halloween/October 2008.
