Halloween and Fall Activities

October is always a fun month, with pumpkin activities and church parties and Halloween.

The children put up a few spiderweb decorations around the house to make things a little spooky.


We visited a local pumpkin patch.




Cleaning out the pumpkin to prepare for carving is always a fun job.

The finished pumpkin on display.

We had a fun time at the ward Fall Festival: dinner, carnival games, and trunk-or-treat. This year we kept it simple and reused costumes that we already had. Anwyn was Hermione (from Harry Potter), Lily was Dorothy (from The Wizard of Oz), Zach was Superman, and Adam was a frog.




Halloween fell on a Saturday this year, so we were happy that Jared could participate in our annual excursion to Boo at the Zoo. The college always does a great job decorating (mostly movie themes like Minions, Harry Potter, Inside Out, etc). We stopped to pose in the Star Wars scene with Yoda. 

It was fun for our Lily/Dorothy to find the house that landed on the Wicked Witch. 

In the evening we walked around the neighborhood for trick-or-treating. We met up with some friends and had a good time.
