Zoo Boo

We took the kids to Little Zoo Boo which was Azley's first time to actually comprehend what trick or treating was all about. She had a pro with Bly showing her the way though.

Her first treat. She was amazed and instantly a fan of Halloween!

Sporting her new look after finally opening that first sucker.

The Patch

After the kids have gone with all sorts of family members to pumpkin patches across the area, Mom and Dad finally took the two munchkins ourselves. I was able to get some great pictures of the kids having fun at the farm.

Smiley pumpkins

We made some fun smiley pumpkins early in October using stickers (which fell off in about 3 days). The kids had fun and it was a way to get them excited about fall.

Trains (again)

We went with some friends to see a local train museum which was right up Bly's alley. I think that Azzi is starting to like trains just from the shear fact of being around them all day.

The boys

The girls

With all the pictures of the day, this was my favorite...

Finger painting

Now some were laughing at this but how else would you let your small children finger paint??

Football!!!

We wanted to take Bly to a game this year and October seems like the best time to try. We had beautiful weather last Saturday so we took this as our opportunity to go. This year Bly knew what the spectacle was about and was super excited to get in and "watch football". Thank goodness Daddy found a group of tickets so we were on our way. His biggest highlight was of course the flyover which he told everyone was too loud.

Posing for Mom with his new hat which had to be green. Thank goodness ND could accommodate that request.

Having fun before the game.

Farmers Market Fall Fest

The South Bend farmers market had a fall fest with bands, animals, a few rides and even ice carving. As we were pulling up, Bly spotted the camel and went straight towards him. I couldn't believe how he just climbed right up there without hesitation. You don't see pictures like this everyday in South Bend!

Pony rides too!
