Pumpkins At The Park

We went to Tangyanika Wild Life Park's Pumpkins At The Park tonight. It was fun, but last year it wasn't nearly as crowded. Abigail stayed at home with my parents, but not before we got pictures of the girls in their costumes.

It takes a lot to scare Olivia and her cousin, Izzy. This big 'ole guy?


"He was kinda nice," Olivia said as she shook his skeleton finger. As a child I would have been terrified!

A cage of doom meant for 12+ year olds? The girls laughed at the people trying to scare them, which made them laugh. Of course, it probably would have been a different story in the dark. LOL!

We also ran into Olivia's best friend, Sage, from preschool.


















We later went on a haunted hayride and our tractor "broke down" in the middle of a field. While we were sitting in the middle of nowhere, we were told a scary story. If you know Olivia, you know this is right up her alley as I've spent many hours in a dark closet telling her scary stories. Luckily, the tractor was fixed just in time because zombies appeared in the field and started chasing us. Of course, Olivia is growling back at them and Izzy is yelling," Zombies can't run!" It was hilarious! The things that scare and don't scare Olivia befuddles me.









Olivia chose pumpkin #4 as her favorite.


I'm so glad that Olivia got to spend the evening with Izzy. Those two used to spend so much time together. Now that they are both in school, they don't see each other near enough. It was a great night!

Field Trip

"I don't wanna go on a field trip! I just want to stay in my classroom and do math!"

Only sweet Olivia, who hates change, would say this. Poor thing cried all morning about her field trip. I had an appointment that I couldn't get rescheduled until December, so daddy took off work and went with her to the pumpkin patch. And she had a blast (as I knew she would.) Having her dad there was icing on the cake. :-) And from what I hear, he was the tire swing man.

Applejack Pumpkin Patch

Today we went to the pumpkin patch for the 6th year in a row. It's one of my favorite family traditions.
























Olivia pedaled a tricycle for the first time. This is something she has really struggled with. We were so proud!




Olivia found our way out of the corn maze.




And loved the slide! Abigail went down it with daddy for the first time.




This was about the cutest thing ever. Olivia and this little boy could not stand up on the giant pillow. So they kept holding hands trying to get up and they would fall back down. Too sweet!
















And, as we were leaving we ran into Kinnick and Carver! In the world of prematurity, everybody knows them. They are pretty much my heroes! Here are two 23 weekers meeting for the first time! I just wish I would have gotten a photo of all three!




And Kinnick loved Ryan's bald head!




What a great afternoon!
