Halloween 2011

This year Troy Polamalu and a Steelers cheerleader went the the Halloween on Main event with me.  Both did great..... and unlike the little lamb of last year, the cheerleader was able to (and insisted on) walking like her big brother!!!  :)  

I got some pics of the kids this evening before we went to a couple of houses.... Ainsley really wasn't a fan of Griffin's hair, (Griffin really wasn't either) but it made the costume!!  

Lego Woody @ MOA

Doctor Day

That means shots!  :(

Corn Maze

For some Fall Fun we decided to go check out a corn maze we saw advertised at our favorite ice cream shop, Four Queens, this summer.  About 8 miles south of Waterloo we entered the Cotter Road Corn Maze.  They had a few animals, pumpkins for sale, and a corn maze shaped like Noah's Ark with hidden animals throughout the way.  We started with a picnic lunch and a picture of this cute boy next to Daddy's tire......

The kids were initially a little freaked out by walking within the corn rows, but that eventually went away.  We were able to find all of the animals that were "hidden" in the maze. 

At the exit of the maze was a photo op, which we took!!!

Then we got to check out the animals..... and feed them bread.  Rabbits, a goat, a chicken, and this cow.  (check out that tongue!!!!)

To complete the day, each kiddo picked out a pumpkin which they then helped Daddy push back to the car!

 

Yeah for Fall, and new adventures!!!  :)

Leaf Fun

Today was wonderfully warm, but WINDY.  Therefore, the leaves were coming down like crazy!!!  We have lots of trees in our yard (and so do the neighbors!!), so there were plenty of leaves to pile up.  Ainsley and Griffin "helped" to rake the pile together, and then had a blast jumping in!!
