Trunk or Treat and Halloween 2016

 Our ward always does the funnest Trunk or Treat at Hunter's Christmas Tree Farm in our ward.  There is always a chili cook off, tractor rides, a fun photo booth and the kids get to run all over and do the ultimate game of hide and seek.  It's always so much fun!

 This year we decided to go as the Karate Kid characters.  Both Palmer and Lincoln have "Johnny Hair" so we had two of those.  McKay absolutely did not want to be part of our family costume because he had his heart set on being a storm trooper.  Funny enough on Halloween he told me he wants to be a Cobra Kai next year.  

 I really did love doing this costume!

 Josh was such a good sport and made the shower.

 This boys was all over the place.  That white costume was super brown by the end of the night!

 On Halloween made made our traditional spudnuts.

 The boys all made their own mini pizzas before going trick or treating with their friends.

 Palmer went with his friends Jack and Rylan from our ward and Lincoln went with his friend Ryan and Hunter hung out with them.  Lincoln didn't want to put make up on, so he opted out of the picture.

 Hunter got to go trick our treating with his friend Chase on Chase's mom's golf cart.

 The boys went until 8:30 and it was insane how much candy they got!

These were all of the great jack o lanterns that the boys made this year.  Lincoln did Link, Hunter did Frankenstein, Palmer did the ghost and McKay had the three little pumpkins.  

Josh and I invited our seminary class over for donuts and almost all of them showed up.  Some brought friends with them and hung out for a while.  It was so much fun!

Carving Pumpkins 2016

 After picking out our pumpkins we carved them.  It is so much nicer when they can all do it themselves (especially cleaning it out).

 McKay was planning it all out on a piece of paper. 

 Worst part is cleaning it out!

 Lincoln printed off a picture of Link from Zelda and he used dots.  When it was lit you could see the picture.  

 I sure love this bunch!

 Finished product.

 McKay wanted his dog "Scooter" to be in the picture.  He always likes the little pumpkins.

 You can sort of see Link in this picture.

 Frankenstein.

 These boys are so fun!

Lincoln's pumpkin looked so cool, this picture doesn't do it justice.  All of the boys did such a great job on their pumpkins!

Pumpkin Patch 2016

 Oh how I love everything to do with Autumn.  In Georgia we get going a little later than most of the country, but when we get going, it's good.  We went to Scottsdale Farms to pick out some pumpkins.  It's a cute little nursery in Milton.  The boys were pretty impressed with the Koi pond.

 There was a huge catfish in with the Koi that was just enormous.  

 I think they liked pushing the wheelbarrows around as much as they liked picking out pumpkins.

 The boys all wanted to BIGGEST pumpkins they could find...except McKay who was set on a tiny pumpkin.

 This one actually ended up dropping and getting cracked...whoops.

 McKay was determined to spend as much time in the wheelbarrow as he could.

 Why share a wheelbarrow when you can have your own??

 The weighing of the pumpkins.

 A few pumpkin heads.

 The kids were pretty thrilled about the chickens and pigs.

I sure love getting to go with my boys on outings like this.  Josh was out of town, so it was good to keep us busy and get going on our autumn celebrations!
