Pumpkin Patch and Neighbourhood Party

A beautiful fall weekend found its way to us this past weekend so after our trip to the gym on Saturday morning we headed out to Winding Brook Farm to get some punpkins for Halloween.  It was not as exciting as Shady Brook Farm was last year but it got the job done.  Poor Lily could barely find one pumpkin she could lift and must have tripped on the vines about 10 times but she still had a great time running around trying to find the perfect pumpkin.  Rowan would have taken every pumpkin she could lift if we did not stop her! Rowan rode a pony, we went through a corn maze, and ended it with a little snack of funnel cake.

After we were done there we came home, changed the kids into their Halloween costumes and headed across the street to Tina's house for a Halloween Pot Luck Party.  It was a really good time.  The kids had a blast running around and playing in their costumes.  Fred set up a projecter screen in the front yard so the kids could watch movies when it got dark and Rowan had so much fun with McKenzie that she ended up spending the night there and they both wore their matching Halloween jammies. 

Dutch Wonderland

This years kids outing for Halloween was a trip to Dutch Wonderland!  We offered to take McKenzie with us but the Kembles as a family decided to all come with us as well.  The park was open from 3pm-9pm and we got there around 330 and did not leave until they announced on the loudspeaker that the park was closing.  Rowan and Lily had a great time - Rowan is Little Miss Adventure wanting to go on all the big thrill rides and Lily is right there behind her trying to do the same!

Peddler's Village

This post is late as we went to Peddler's Village on 10/2/10 but since I took pictures I have to throw them up here ;)

We took the girls and  our neighbour McKenzie so we could go and check out the annual scarecrows.  We had a very late dinner up there and after a visit to the candy shop we came home and Rowan and McKenzie had a sleepover at our house.
