Happy Halloween!!

We headed to the Benbrook Fall Festival again this year. With a few more added activities, it was definitely the place to be.

Once we arrived, we went straight to the games to score some candy. It took a little time for the kids to warm up to all of the games and the strangers encouraging them to play. Ella got a hang of it first, especially once she realized there was stuff she could put in her Halloween bucket.


Then it was Jacob's turn with a bean bag "toss".
A little "fishing"...
Some "bowling"...
A round of "golf"...
Football "throwing"...
And of course, bounce houses...Jacob's all-time favorite...
"Arrrr!"...
"Yo ho ho!"
Happy Halloween everybody!!

Halloween Preview

Wrestlemania

This is starting to become a routine for our evenings. They wrestle each other. Every night.

Pumpkin Patch

The title is pretty self explanatory. However, we did change our usual destination from the Flower Mound pumpkin patch to the festivities that were offered at the Country Critters Farm located in Alvarado. There they had a place to pet and brush animals, a hayride, bounce houses, pumpkin painting (which unfortunately we were unable to participate in) along with other activities, and of course, romping around in the pumpkin patch to hand pick our pumpkins.

Pony ride (Both Ella and Jacob were scared, so we only got one picture of Ella, mid-cry):

Yep, Ella can drive a tractor:
