Walden Farm-part 2

This isn't as clear as I'd like but Abbie has a big grin on her face as she blazes her own path through the corn maze.

Yes, it's staged! I grew up with Shelly (Reeves) Walden who married into the Walden family. Matt wanted to get into the tractor. She told him that he could drive it but we just snapped the picture. Matt actually rode on the pumpkin train though with the kids.

Abbie climbed up hay mountain.

We all had a great time at the farm! The girls both had their faces painted and Sophie did a little sand art necklace.

The first weekend in October was a wonderful weekend for us! Friday afternoon, we decided to be brave and take both girls to see the movie Dolphin Tale. Abbie had to go to the bathroom no less than 3 times during the movie and she had a hard time being still but the movie itself was good. It was probably a little slow for Abbie but Sophie loved it! Matt and I were able to see Winter, the dolphin, in person almost 4 years ago when we visited Florida. Uncle Phil met us at the movie and then we had pizza with Nana and Paw-paw afterwards.

On Saturday morning, we decided to head to Walden Farm. The girls enjoyed the mazes, had fun riding the pumpkin train, seeing the animals, playing on the playground equipment, etc. It was a little chilly but at least the sun was out. Nana met us at the pumpkin farm. Afterwards, we headed to Martin's BBQ for lunch. That afternoon,we stopped by LifeWay for kids day (Aunt Patti works there), ran a quick errand or two, attempted to rest, and then played outside.

Costume Party

Emerson & Sophie being silly (I told Emerson to say "argh!" and Sophie to say, "yee haw!" before I took the picture.) I should have tried for a more normal pose too. =)

Here's the girls with one of our pumpkins.  Their daddy carved another one. Fun traditions! 

Last weekend, Sophie was busy with parties after her soccer game in the morning.  First, she was able to attend her friend, Carley's gymnastics party.  Then, she came home and changed into her Jessie outfit for Emerson's costume party.  This year, Emerson opted for a Halloween party instead of celebrating on her birthday which was in September.    Their family invited all of us but Abbie ended up taking a good nap that day so she only came for the last part of the party.  The kids had fun playing games, snacking, doing crafts, and going on a hayride around our section of the neighborhood.  All of the kids enjoyed the party and the hayride was a big hit!
