Fall Fun and Halloween

It was a beautiful Fall here and we had such beautiful colors!!  

We were able to go hiking a few times and we always love that time together!  :)

 Isn't this such a great picture?!  They fight like cats and dogs, but then the next minute they LOVE each other like no one else.  :)

 I took the kids to a park one weekend and after some hiking, they played on the jungle gym.  

They were having so much fun that I had to bribe them to get them into the car to come home!!  :)

  We found this nearby farm to get pumpkins at this year.  

They even let us go meet the pigs, cows and roosters.  It was so much fun!!

Of course the kids picked out the largest pumpkins they could find!!  :)

Our silly vampire...

 Happy Halloween!

 Emily was an owl this year.

 And Alex was a ninja.

 We went Trick-or-Treating around our neighborhood with friends and their son.  Ian pretended to shoot Alex and then Alex fell in their driveway as if he had been wounded -- it was so cute!!  :)

Here's the candy haul for the year -- way more than we've gotten in all the years before combined!  We'll have this easily until next Halloween!
