October has been a fun-filled beginning of fall for us. We went to Stahlei Farm, a local family farm where they have a petting zoo, pumpkins, a slide that drops the kids into a huge pit of dried corn, and a corn maze. It was lots of fun. Dallin could've spent the entire time on the slide and he loved falling into the corn. We left with animal poop on our shoes and corn in our socks...but we had fun!
We carved pumpkins later in the month but unfortunately they went bad within a week and we weren't able to have them on our porch for Halloween. (Yes, it's still in the 70's here in St. George!)
We survived Halloween...and hopefully without many cavities! Dallin was "Luke Skywalker as a X-Wings pilot", Avery was Chewy, Reed was George Lucas, and Summer was Teresa Eckert (sound editor for Star Wars...meaning she didn't really dress up!) Our ward had a dinner and a trunk-or-treat at the church pavilion and parking lot. After about 3 minutes of trunk-or-treating Avery totally grasped the concept of Halloween and LOVED it! She walked around the entire time with a roll of Smarties in each hand and a big smile on her chocolate-covered face. Dallin was thrilled to see that another boy in our ward was dressed up as Darth Vadar so they had a little light-saber duel after the dinner. (Dallin won.)
