Pumpkin Patch

We headed out to Beasley's Orchard to pick out our pumpkins! It was very cold, but we had a good time riding the hay ride out to the patch and finding our pumpkin. Unfortunately, the pumpkin selections were slim and we ended up getting Aiden's pumpkin at the Barn. We are very excited to carve our pumpkin next week!

Halloween Cookies!

We decided, OK I decided, to make cookies tonight after Zoo Boo. Aunt Kim and Grandpa came over to help! Aiden loves cutting out the cookies, rolling the dough, and decorating the cookies. He seemed to enjoy eating the cookies the best. We all had a lot of fun!

ZOO BOO!

Friday afternoon Jeremy and I decided that rain was pretty much over so we headed down to the Zoo for Zoo Boo. After being there for about a half hour, Jeremy noticed it was getting darker and said we should head to cover, so we went to the pavilion where the trick or treating was taking place. The rain started about a minute after we were inside. It rained for about 20 minutes and then ended for the day so we went out and visited some more sites at the Zoo. We went to the Elephant chat and took a ride on the train. Overall it was a nice afternoon, and we managed to stay dry!

Children's Museum Program

I decided to take Aiden to a program at the Children's Museum during Fall Break! Aiden made some really cute pumpkin crafts and then played with Halloween colored rice, orange toys in water, and tossed bean bags into pumpkins. We had a nice morning. After the program we visited the trains and then headed out since the museum was getting REALLY crowded!

Quaker Day Parade

It is a family tradition to go to the Quaker Day Parade each year. The parade usually runs down US 40 but due to construction, it was moved to some of the neighborhood roads in Plainfield. I thought this made the parade even better. Everyone was so much closer to the parade action and Aiden received A LOT of candy! It was a great day for a parade!

Party Time!

We were invited to a birthday party at Hoosier Gymnastics. Aiden loves going to gym class so this was a good time. He got to do whatever he wanted and even play in the "BIG" gym. He had a lot of fun jumping in the pit and checking out all the fun stuff at the gym. It was a great time!
