Picture catch-up

I haven't been taking nearly as many pictures as I usually do, but I will take random pics on my phone, so here are some recent random bits of Holt family fun!

January snow!

We got snow!  Aiden got a couple days off school, and we got out in it for a bit.  The kiddos loved running around, but Miles was less than enthusiastic.  Poor old doggie :)

"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!

 

Slide!

Caught in mid-air!

Getting a blue butterfly painted on her arm

Maura went down this big slide too many times to count!

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!
