Fall Fun and Halloween!

We had sooo much fun this fall with trips to the farm, picking out pumpkins, zoo boo, pumpkin carving and of course trick or treating :) We thankfully had wonderful weather for our trips to the farm with church and Jackson's class.
 
 Our family photo op at the pumpkin patch! The pumpkins were slim pickings by the time we went but we managed to find a decent one. there was no way Jackson was going to let us leave without one!
 After the pumpkin patch the kids went on a pony ride! They both LOVED it!!
 Ellery holding on tight...she's getting to be such a big girl!
 We had heard of a trick or treat at a local park and had told the kids we were going to go. However just as we were about to go our friends said don't go....apparently the line to get in was SUPER long and chances are there wouldn't have even been any candy left. So since the kids thought they were going trick or treating our neighbor's and I decided we'd put the kids costumes on and scrounge up some candy from inside our houses and have them "trick or treat" at our two houses....they didn't know any different and thought it was fun :)
 Jackson's preschool went to the farm and all the kids got to pick a pie pumpkin to take home. Here are Ellery and Jackson putting their pumpkins they picked in their bags. They were too busy to look up at the camera!
 Jackson and his buddy Connor from school with their pumpkins :)
 After the pumpkin patch the class did the corn maze. This was Jackson's turn to tell Farmer Bonnie which way to go in the maze. All the kids had a chance to pick a direction to go.
 My little pumpkin :)
 Jackson milking the goat....he thought it was soooo cool and he was one of the few that would actually do it. Ellery and most of his classmates wouldn't go up there! Go Jackson!!
 Ellery and Jackson ready to trick or treat at the Detroit Zoo Boo! We went with our good friends the Ryckman's and had a great time and got a lot of treats!

 This was our better late than never pumpkin carving on the night of Halloween! It was a busy fall for us and we just didn't have time to get it in before Halloween...but we did it!
 Jackson loved pulling out all the seeds!!
 Our finished products!
