Annual carving of the pumpkins.
October is in full swing, the leaves have changed colors, the weather is cooler, the days are shorter. But we would rather be in Hawaii. So we went Hawaiian. Plus we are hooked on the tropical sorbets at Costco and look for any "special" reason to indulge. If you haven't tried them, they are sooooo good and sooooo cute, served up in coconut shells (12 for $13). Plus, Sis. Bush has never had Hawaiian haystacks or the sorbets so we needed a Hawaiian menu.Sis. Bush, who started her mission with us, is back in our area again. We love having you with us. Sis. Birch, we are her first area. We love having both of them and love them frequently dropping in. Bush and Birch - a definite companionship.
The Sisters looked so cute, we told them to take the lei's and be "Hawiian Sisters" for Halloween. Last year, Sis. Bush and Sis. Lauchner were Salt and Pepper (black and white dresses), your limited when your a missionary.

Some things elicit the oncoming of autumn;
corn mazes, pumpkins, hay rides, farmers, barns.
After we went through the corn maze, several times, the kids plucked some corn feed and fed the pigs. It was so gross we all had to take a turn. Stepping in the mud, smelling the slop, and seeing why I use the reference "pigsty" when referring to our playroom, Cayden said he liked his virtual farms much better than real farms.
Reward - all the kids were happy today.

So the kids played "goat tag."
Our own hay ride around the farm with Farmer Ted as our driver.
My animal lover Maddy, petting the donkey named "Too Cute", now isn't that cute.
