One of the favorites at the pumpkin patch we usually head to is the little kids hay maze (they have a corn maze for the older kids and adults) - the kids absolutely love running around in the little maze. This year the popular game was the two younger kids (Hailey and Branson) trying to catch and keep up with the two older kids (Zachary and Ashton).
Despite not being able to keep up with the older boys, Hailey and Branson rarely lost track of each other - most of the time that was done by holding hands.
The older boys loved to climb up and over the bridge and point out where the younger kids were and climb down and take off before they reached them.
This was one of my favorite pictures this year - they had some huge pumpkins and it was so cute to see Hailey and Branson sit on one for a quick picture.
Out looking for pumpkins in the patch - good thing Uncle Taylor was there to help them choose a good one!
And of course a quick picture with Nana before running off to play in the hay maze again!
One of the funniest experiences this year was Hailey being determined to find a purple pumpkin out in the fields. Despite how many times I explained to her that the pumpkins grow to be orange, she was determined she would find a purple one. After looking and looking and looking, she picked out an orange pumpkin and was only ok when Nana told her she could head home and paint her orange pumpkin any color she wanted.
When we made it back to Nana's house, Hailey decided that not only did she want to paint it purple, but pink and red as well. So with her paint brush and paints all ready, she tackled her painting project.
Zach wasn't nearly as picky and decided to paint his blue with white vampire teeth.
After the pumpkins were painted and set aside to dry, it was time to decorate some cookies. With some orange frosting and chocolate chips, off they went decorating their pumpkin cookies.
Zach was very meticulous at getting the right amount of frosting and arranging the chocolate chips just so. He's definitely a perfectionist and take after his mom is that respect!
Later after dinner, it was time for trick-or-treating. Now that Nana and Papa have grandkids all over that can't make it to their house to trick-or-treat every year, they have started up a tradition of trick-or-treating early inside the house. Every adult gets a bag of candy and goes into one of the rooms of the house. The kids get dressed up and go around trick-or-treating to every door.
Zach was a firefighter again this year and Hailey decided on Sleeping Beauty as her Halloween costume. They were so cute, I had to take a picture of them both before the trick-or-treating began.
Here's a picture I caught of them after Jeremiah opened the door as they knocked. They were so cute saying Trick-or-Treat!
And here's the gang in their halloween costumes. They are all so cute and they were darling all dressed up!
We had a great day - thanks Nana and Papa for making the day so much fun and creating such a fun tradition!
