Pumpkin Carving Fun

Sunday evening we invited Bryce's two brothers and their families over for a pumpkin party. We had yummy pumpkin stew and carved pumpkins. We had grown some big pumpkins this year in our garden and didn't need them all for ourselves. We thought it would be fun to have the cousins over to help carve them. The weather was good enough to carve outside on the deck, which was nice because then my house didn't have pumpkin guts and seeds all over. The kids had fun. All of the pumkins turned out great!! The kids had fun decorating a brownie to look like a jack-o-lantern too.

Fun Fall Weekend

This last weekend we took the kids to Black Island Farms in Syracuse. It is a huge farm with two corn mazes, several hay bale slides, farm animals, pig races, a kiddie train, and hay rides. The weather was perfect! It was even a bit too warm. The kids seemed to have fun and I think Bryce did too. He wasn't very excited to go in the first place, but I told him you do these kinds of things for your kids. :)

Watchin' the pig races!! Tyler got picked to guess which pig would win the race and the blue one did so he got a pig nose!!

Ellie loved the big slide.
