"Harvest in the Meadows"

Gramma and Grampa Holt came to visit over Halloween weekend, and we took the kiddos to Oxbow Meadows for their 2nd annual "Harvest in the Meadows" fall festival.  There were a couple of bouncers, a reptile show, punkin' chunkin', face painting and little carnival games.  It was pretty fun, even if they couldn't get the trebuchet to chunk any punkins :(  The kiddos wore themselves out and each got to touch a snake and a turtle!

Cagle's Farm Fall Fun!

We took the kiddos to Cagle's farm for their fall festival activities, which included a huge corn maze!  We met Kelly and the girls and Uncle Kublai and Theo came along, too.

Brooklyn's birthday party

Every year Aiden's friend Brooklyn has a costume birthday party.  This year Aiden wore his pirate costume from last year and Maura wore a princess dress that we got last year after Halloween.  It was a bit small but she wore it the whole time!
