Jakers and a Halloween Party

Jakers Jack-o-Lanterns

A couple weeks ago we hit a local pumpkin patch.  Not because we needed pumpkins.  We grew our own, remember?  We went because they have fun, free Halloween-y activities for kids.  Can't beat free!  The weather was AWE-SOME! that day, so it was no surprise that everyone and their kids were there.  We saw at least 5 different families we know.

Aurora's favorite always seems to be the corn pit
(the 2 girls in the pic are in our neighborhood--they were so excited to see Rori there)

Daddy tried to bury her, but she wasn't a fan--it was pretty short-lived.

 Exploring in the kids hay bale maze


The petting zoo was a hit too

They even had a kangaroo!  He was SO soft! I've never pet a kangaroo before.  It was pretty cool.
His name was Alvin, after Alvin the chipmunk


Our Sweet Savy was there too, no worries :)

And, we went on a hay bale tractor ride around the pumpkin patch.  Rori kept making Dar take pictures of the people looking for pumpkins.

Our family :)
(Savy was too into playing with my sunnies to look at the camera)


Halloween Party
A friend in our neighborhood throws a big Halloween party every year and we always enjoy going.
Rori and her friend Jack

Savy is dressed as a spider--in case you can't tell
Cutest dang spider I've ever seen!!

Rori and her friend, Lydia.
(I told Dar we should have done a line-up of all the Minnie Mouses.  No offense to anyone else, but I think Rori was the cutest.  But I'm allowed to say that---I'm her mom!)

Rori decorated a sugar cookie she helped me make earlier for the party.  And Daddy got to join us!

Playing a Mr. Potato Head pumpkin game

She was very focused and slightly concerned, apparently :)

Playing a witch hat ring toss game

Tossing bean bags

I think her favorite part was learning a Thriller zumba dance.  This girl LOVES to dance!

 
 
 I thought she was great at following the instructor

The kids all got together towards the end of the party and did a Thriller performance for all the parents.  Aurora did really awesome--especially considering she's not even 3 yet.  Way to go, Aurora!  You made your parents so proud! :)

Thanks again, Lalani, for all your hard work!
