A few days before Halloween we got lucky enough to have a great visit from Poppy, Grammy, Richie, Erin, Zeke, and Ezra!! It was awesome! We were all so excited to have them here and get time to play. The weather was great so we got to be outside at the park, swim a little, get crafty, and do some Halloween stuff!
We took a trip one day to Old McDonald's Farm and the kids had a blast. Colt keeps asking to go back and feed the animals and ride the train! The goat here in the first picture ripped Ellie's bag of food right out of her hand and ate the bag, not the food but ate the paper bag instead!
Tire swing, a favorite a all of theirs.
We made it to our ward trunk or treat and had fun running the parking lot for candy. Colt was upset in the picture because Ellie took a piece of candy from our bucket and he was for some reason really bothered by that! Grammy is so great at participating! I know the kids wish I would dress up, maybe one year!
Fun fun trip! Its always a blast with these guys around when all we have to do is play and have a good time! I love you guys, thanks for coming everyone!
Some from Erin's Blog on this trip!
We spent a lot of time in the pool on this trip! With it being so warm, we all wanted to be in it all the time!
We stayed in all the way until dark!
Grammy and Poppy unloaded a suitcase full of gifts for all the kids. Zeke got a cool CAT tractor toy that moved, and Ezra got a fun little barn toy with lights and sounds. They loved them!
The next morning the kids had fun playing in the little house all together. It was so fun to hear their conversations and play scenarios in there!
Spent some time on the trampoline
Then of course, back in the pool!
Zeke and Ellie stripped down for some nakey time
The next day we loaded everyone up and headed to a Pumpkin Patch. All the kids were in the van with Grammy and Pop, except Rachel and Ezra with us in the truck. Rae insisted on riding with her Ezzie. She loves being with him and helping with him, it's so sweet. So cute hearing her talk to him.
We were quite the bunch walking in there
We got a few bags of animal feed and all the kids got to feed the livestock
Ezra just hung out and watched from the stroller. He was happy in there
More animal feeding
There was a little horse station where you could ride a pony. Zeke was happy just to pet it, had no interest in riding it
We decided to let Ezra get in on some of the action and take a pony ride. He was fine at first, but got a little unsure half way through and cried the second half of the 20 foot loop!
Dad and Zeke wandered off to feed some free roaming deer
Feeding these crazy animals!
Then the kids all got to pick their very own pumpkin from the Pumpkin Patch!
Grammy and Poppy with all the kids
Our little family
And these two crazies!! These two sure are funny together! They are both crazy on their own, but they bring out an extra dose of crazy in each other when they are together! Lots of screaming, yelling and a whole lot of laughing!
Zeke loved assisting Eric clean the fish tank
That night we went to their wards trunk-or-treat. This was the week before Halloween, so of course being the slacker that I am, I did not have costumes for them yet. So they just wore their Halloween outfit/shirt that Grandma sent them. And looked awfully adorable in them!
We got there a little late because the boys were napping. So Zeke got to walk right in to some of the games without having to wait. Eating a marshmallow off a string, and sharing with Grammy
We made it just in time for the trunk-or-treating! Zeke was happy to get some candy!
Checking out all their loot!
The next day was our last. We just hung around the house mostly and went swimming, of course.
Rachel and Ezra, best buds!
Our last time in that wonderfully warm pool!
Ezra was such a happy boy! He loved every minute of pool time, cousin time and play time! He had a poopy incident in the pool so I took him to the grass to spray him down. Even sitting naked in the grass and being sprayed by the hose, he was all smiles!! Love this kid!
