We started off the week with a field trip with our homeschool group to Bauman Farms, the pumpkin patch! The day was planned rain or shine and boy let me tell you it rained all morning long. Even driving out, I planned to just get soaked! We all had our boots on and rain jackets loaded and I was extra cautious and just threw on a ball cap. But as we were driving out, we started to see patches of clear sky and it only rained once for a few minutes while we were there. Boy, was it muddy though. The kids maze was a big hit again and the even Brody got into the whole barn swing this year which was SO fun. Of course we ended the day with fresh apple cider and an apple cider donut! (Ok, so we brought home a dozen of those)
First lesson learned....
When you move to the country, plan extra time to "trick or treat"!!
Some of our new neighbors are so excited to have little kids on the street that they called in advance to make sure we were coming by! So, we headed out with plenty of time to get to the carnival at church...walking by the way. We went to house number 1, then house number 2..boy do these people have some long driveways!!! At house number 2, she called another neighbor who was wanting us to come by so off we hiked to house number 3. I had met them but I hadn't been to their house...(can't even see it from the road) and that is when we really fell behind schedule! Brody was a monkey and he said he felt right at home in the jungle with all the trees so that part was fun! We felt like we were expoloring! Then after going to house number 4 because I knew they were expecting us...I realized it took us 45 minutes to hit only 4 houses!
Then we raced back to our house and jumped in the car to meet some new friends who were joining us at the carnival.
Second Lesson Learned...
When you are running late, you forget to take pictures!
So, this is all I have of our Halloween excursion. We had a good time at the carnival but didn't get there in time to enjoy everything like the bounce houses, and I didn't even take my camera in that time.
Overall, a big candy stash at the end of the night made it a happy memory!

So funny! That IS a long driveway, my goodness. Looks like a neat area to live in, though.
Glad they had a good time!
