Halloween Fun!

Last Friday Caroline and I joined a group of other mom's with toddlers at our local park for cookie decorating and fun in costumes.  It was pretty hilarious to see all the kids toddling around the playground in their costumes.  I'm not sure they knew what to think about all of it, but they had fun.  Of course, Caroline was more interested in playing with the mulch on the playground than any of the kids, despite the fact that her best buddy Caleb was in attendance.  She's too funny!  Here's the pretty little butterfly:

 
On Saturday, the weather was overcast and gloomy but the rain held off long enough for us to visit a local farm we discovered just a few miles from our house that had all kinds of fun activities for kids.  There was a small pumpkin patch, a haystack mountain to climb with fun tunnels underneath, a mini corn maze, silos full of corn to play in, and a cow train.  Caroline had a ball.  The girl just loves being outside and she had lots of fun exploring everywhere and everything.
Playing in the corn was a new experience:

She loved running from one end of the tunnel to the other


She discovered hay is as much fun to play with as mulch!
 
Caroline thought she had to demonstrate her strength at the pumpkin patch by trying to pick up every one


Here is Caroline and Daddy on the "cow train."  Basically they were gallon drums with seats inside pulled behind a tractor.  Seeing Zack squeezed in with all the other kids was pretty funny!
 

We had lots of fun and will definitely go back next year! Despite the fact that a week later I am still picking corn up off the floor and finding it in the laundry!
