HALLOWEEN

We made another trip to Schaake's Pumpkin Patch this year. We had a fun group that included: Papa, Nana, Aunt Julie, Aunt Jenny, Noah, Ted and myself. It was a great day to be outside and searching for the perfect pumpkins.



Noah enjoyed helping to clean out the pumpkins.

He had to check and make sure he got all of it out.

His costume this year was an Imagination Mover....he REALLY likes that show.

He was ready to go. We had a little neighborhood get-to-together before all the kids headed out to go trick-or-treating. The cutest part of the evening happened at our first house. They rang the doorbell and the lady came out with her bowl of candy. I looked at Noah and asked him what he was suppose to say. He looked back at the lady and started singing "Happy Birthday". It made us all laugh!!

Our trip to Rushford, MN

Aunt Christina and Uncle Slade made a slight move to Rushford, MN while Slade is finishing up school.....so we made a visit in October. As always, we had a great time and I made my official first visit to Wisconsin. While we were there we went to a corn maze, took a hayrack ride and saw many farm animals and tractors. Noah had a great time too!!





With Aunt Christina and Uncle Slade in the corn maze.....it was very hard to get threw and I would have been lost for hours if I were by myself. Apparently, I was the only one who had no sense of direction.

It was a great day but was a little on the cold side....the corn did help shelter us a tiny bit.

This face shows all the excitement this young boy was having that day......TONS!!!
