Decorating our Pumpkins

Once we got home from our field trip we had to get down to business decorating our pumpkins. Jackson and Will took their pumpkins everywhere for the day, even to bed that night.

Jackson took our pumpkins out for a swing

Swinging the pumpkins

We had such a fun time last week at our MMO field trip to Denver Downs farm. It has been a couple of years since we have gone to Denver Downs, and this year was so much fun now that the boys are a bit older and could participate in all of the activities there. The boys especially enjoyed carving and decorating the pumpkins we got from the farm.

Carowinds Adventure

This past weekend we went to Charlotte and visited Carowinds. It was the first time that the boys and Brian had been. It was the first time in probably over 20 years that I had been. Hannah Smith, if you read this, you were right about it having a lots of fun rides for the little ones. My boys had an absolute blast. We got there right when the park opened and stayed until right after four. The boys were completely exhausted by the end of the day.

Since it was close to Halloween, the park had set up a scavenger hunt where the kids got prizes at each of the stores, here is Jackson sporting his first prize, a pirate hat
