the other weekend we decided to get right into the fall/halloween spirit and head out to oldfield orchard for their fun "octoberfest" celebration. what better way to end a warm, sunny, fall weekend then with pumpkins, face painting...
hay rides...
totally different reaction to the hay ride for both girls..lolcotton candy with friends...
tractor pull rides...
and my fave of the day - the maze!
do we look confused? hahaha, we didn't get lost but we did have a ton of fun in there. i'll spare you our homemade blair witch project videos in the maze and of course, the one of our poor child crying as we took her through the haunted house she begged us to go in...priceless though, honestly..priceless. one of those videos you just know you will play at her wedding..lol! don't you just love halloween goodness? i'm a prankster at heart so anything halloween is fun in my books. i'm counting down the days till trick or treating :) bring on the spooky!
what does your family do to celebrate fall and halloween? do you go to any kind of farm festivals? do you trick or treat or stay home to hand out candy? we don't get trick or treaters at our door so we are all about trick or treating ourselves. super fun! i got a coffee sitting right here for ya with your name on it...c'mon over...let's chat :)
aww we had so much fun bumping into you! love the pics. and the maze was just as hilarious with us too. hahah we even contemplated that either owen or i climb up on les' shoulders so we could see the way out. hahahaah. fun!
ReplyDeleteSo much fun! And oh my goodness what a splendiferous cowl you are sporting there my dear - awesome work. Halloween is approaching rapidly...and I still have a whole lot of strips of tulle on my dining room table that need to be ruffled and attached to the mermaid skirt/tail I'm making. AWESOME. Apparently this year I'm celebrating by sending my daughter out half dressed! Wahoo!
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween.
Oh, you guys look so, SO confused ;) Loved this post, Shannon!
ReplyDeletei totally love that you have a knitted coffee cozy in your hand...starbucks im assuming:) looks like a sweet time.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys!

would you mind sharing where you got your boots from! I am in love and have been looking for a pair just like them for ages!
ReplyDelete@wheresheloved - I had been looking for 2 years for a pair that fit over jeans that looked like my new babies. I found them in a pile in a corner at Old Navy on sale!!! Fate I tell ya!
ReplyDeletelooks like a ton of fun was had!
ReplyDeleteYou look so glamorous in your new cowl, hot mama! And the kids look so happy...
ReplyDeleteI grew up in a city in Ohio where Octoberfest is Oktoberfest and has a slightly different feel (bratwurst, beer, and hooliganism)...but your version looks super fun too!
very very cute pictures!! looks like you guys had a gr8 time!!

The maze and haunted house sound like so much fun! Aussies are just getting into the halloween vibe, we have been trick or treating for years, but now the stores sell pumpkins to carve and lots of decorations too. Last week, my girls and I made a Halloween Gingerbread House and I made my eldest daughter a Care Bear Costume. That's all so far, but looking forward to the big day. Must say, you look fantastic! And I love the cowl and those gorgeous boots!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun. Love the cowl too. We spent the day with fantastic friends celebrating Halloween. The kiddos enjoyed frosting and decorating cookies, eating caramel apples and having a grand time. The mamas sat, talked, knit and laughed. What a good day.
ReplyDeleteyour kids are so cute! Love the pics.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a blast. The kids are adorable as always!
ReplyDeleteWe always go apple-picking to kick off the fall season, and it's a whole day adventure with picnic and all.
I'm still trying to come up with some good Halloween traditions.
Looks like it was lots of fun! What kind of maze is that? We just have corn mazes in Iowa. :-)
