Happy Halloween!

We had a wonderful Halloween! Regan was a fairy. She assembled her costume all by herself from her dress up trunk. Haden was a fireman, also from his dress up trunk. I love those kind of costumes! And Lila was a pirate. I had a princess dress that was her size too, but the pirate costume just seemed to fit her personality more. The kids loved trick or treating with their friends! We all got way too much candy! It's a good thing Halloween only comes once a year!

Fall Break

Haden had been asking for some time to go back to Idaho. He loves it there! So, for fall break, we indulged him. The kids rode 4 wheelers, fed the cows, and played with their cousins.
I know, I nearly had a heart attack the first time I saw Regan riding on the front of the 4 wheeler, too! She is only allowed to ride there when Clint is driving and going VERY SLOW!
Clint and I went on a 4 wheeler ride with his parents and some friends. But no kids! That hasn't happened for a long time! (Thank you, Karalee, for watching my little stinkers.) It brought back a lot of memories. Many of the outings while Clint and I were dating involved a 4 wheeler or a horse. Thirteen years and three kids later, I still love hanging out with him!
The colors in the mountains were spectacular!
Lila tormented this little dog every chance she got.
She loved being able to have so much room to roam around!
She was definitely intrigued by the chickens.
My little brother and several sisters met us at Swore Farms. The kids loved running through the hay maze and the corn maze.
At each intersection in the corn maze, there was a question about Idaho or agriculture. The right answer pointed the correct way to go. The questions were all completely random and I have no idea where they got their information from! Needless to say, those of us who actually read the questions went the wrong way many times! Clint and the kids were just running around, hiding, and jumping out trying to scare the rest of us. I was glad Haden was wearing red. It was a lot easier to spot him among the corn stalks!Lila loved playing in the swimming pool full of grain. She yelled and yelled when I finally pulled her out.
We finished up the day at the Blackfoot pool. My kids love swimming!
It was a fun trip. The weather was beautiful and the kids behaved for the car ride. Well, except on the way home. Haden was crying because he didn't want to leave Idaho, he "loves Idaho!"
