Trick or Treat

At the scary house

It's amazing how much Paisley has grown in one year. Last Halloween, Paisley only trick-or-treated at three houses. This year, I wanted to go while the sun was still up so i could get some pictures. When we started, it was only us and one other family for about the first 20 minutes. I think this was very helpful for Paisley because she was able to take her time and not feel rushed. We went to this awesome neighborhood near our house where a good amount of houses were decorated to the max. There was one home, with tombstones and skeletons, that really freaked Paisley out. We also stopped at our bishops home so Paisley could see her "big girls." We kept going house to house and Paisley was loving every minute of it. Some houses gave out juice boxes and goodie bags! Eventually, the neighborhood started to flood with kids. At this point, Paisley had gone to about 15-20 houses and was ready to call it a night. 

Cruz and Jake, pumpkin butts!

Form The Corn

The Fall Festival was Paisley's first school performance and she did such a great job! All of the students wore their Halloween costumes and preformed 4-5 songs as a class. They started the program by saying the Pledge of Allegiance. Admittedly, I was pretty impressed with Paisley and her being able to say the whole thing! While they were singing, Paisley was, of course, one of the loudest singers in the class!

 

Afton Apple Orchards

I love this time of year and what better of a place to spend it, than at Afton orchards. We had so much fun walking around and picking out our pumpkins this fall. Walking up and down the apple rows trying to find the perfect apples to pick was a terrific experience for the kids. Paisley and Cruz loved feeding the goats most of all. After we got done with the animals, we went over to the play ground to let the kids work out some wiggles. Let me tell you, this playground is amazing and made out of recyclable materials! We finished the night off with a hay ride. I'm thankful that the kids (and Ryan) were in good moods for me to capture these memories.
