Playgroup Halloween Picnic

Our playgroup had our annual fall picnic this week. The big kids were off from school for Nevada Day so we had a full house. Luckily the party was at the park in our community so there was plenty of room. The kids had a great time and we did a lot of fun stuff.

We all wore our costumes to the party

We trick or treated to everyone's blanket

Halloween Train

We went on the Halloween train up in Boulder City with the Jacobs family this weekend. The kids wore their costumes so they got to ride for free! The train ride was about 45 minutes and the weather was perfect. Ethan just learned how to say Choo Choo and was super excited when we pulled into the parking lot and he saw the train.

Arizona

Last week we went to Arizona to visit some family and friends. We went to Phoenix and then Maricopa. Greg had to stay home and work so we hitched a ride with Nana and Pa. The kids had a blast and since it was 95 degrees most of the time they felt right at home!

The kiddos minus little Carson

The kids thought these lights at the hotel were microphones. They had so much fun singing into them.

We stayed at a bed and breakfast for 2 of the nights. It had this beautiful pool. The water was super chilly, but we still went in.

Pa, Taylor, and Ethan in the crazy car. Ethan loved this car. He spent hours sitting in it pretending to drive.

Nana took Ethan for a ride.

Garage Sale

Our playgroup had a garage sale last week to raise money for charity. Taylor came to help me out. The kids had so much fun and they ran a little lemonade stand and did a bake sale.

Lexi's Volleyball Game

Our friend Alexa is on the JV volleyball team at her high school. They had an away game at the high school right by our house so we went and watched it. Alexa's team didn't win, but we had so much fun watching her play.

Taylor spent most of her time playing on the bleachers and eating snacks.

Emily took care of Ethan. She is such a big helper.

Alexa is on the far right. Can't believe this girl is a sophomore in high school. Seems like just yesterday she was a student in my 4th grade classroom.

McKee Ranch

We have this super cute ranch about 5 minutes from the house that we always visit. The kids love feeding the horses carrots and the goats crackers. In October they have a pumpkin patch there too with horsey rides, a hay ride, and loads of fun.

Taylor rode on this super big horse! She was all smiles the whole time.

We love this playground.

Cutest tire swing ever.

Kisses for the pony.

Pumpkin Patch

Our playgroup took a field trip to a pumpkin patch. I'm usually not a big fan of the corner pumpkin patches, but this one was great!

Group shot- my two are the ones on the left that look super tired and overheated.

Ethan loved the animals at the petting zoo.

Tractor ride!

Bouncy house fun.

Not so happy on this super scary ride.

Going down the slide. Taylor is the one who is about to go down backwards!

Springs Preserve Halloween

We went over to the Springs Preserve last night to check out their Halloween activities. We played some fun carnival games, went on a hay ride, and trick or treated for some delicious candy while we were there.

I didn't want the kids to get their costumes dirty so I let them wear old costumes. Taylor was a unicorn and Ethan was a duck.

This boy loves candy!

We are all done and ready to go home!

Taylor's First Movie

Taylor finally got to see her very first movie the other week. Although she has seen many movies at home (the girl loves her TV) we've never taken her to see anything in the theater until now! I took her to see the movie Dolphin Tale. She has been in love with dolphins ever since she got to pet and feed one at Sea World over the summer. She really enjoyed the movie. She asked a ton of questions during it. Taylor also loved the popcorn!
