Tuesday, after Hayden's Preschool, we stopped at Jaker's Pumpkin Patch in Springville. Kylie didn't have school that day, so it was the perfect time to explore this pumpkin place we pass all the time on our way to Hayden's school.
It has turned out to be one of my favorite places. Insanely cheap, TONS of corn to play in, so many slides and corn mazes, hay mazes, pumpkin patch, and animals to see. We spent all afternoon there!
When we got home we made Halloween sugar cookies and decorated them after dinner. Such a fun day!
Friday was our ward's trunk-or-treat. We started off by carving our pumpkins. The kids were hesitant to get gunk on them, but they loved it. I let them draw their faces and then carved it out for them. Then off to the church! They did the trunk-or-treating first. It was a small enough area and we were all lined up in one straight line, so I decided the kids could go by themselves (after extensive reminders to say "Trick-or-Treat!" and "Thank you!") and I stayed behind to pass out candy. All the kids made the rounds 2-3 times before we closed up and went to eat chili. We had a fun time eating and got to see Grandma Tess right before Grandma Shari and Grandpa Gary arrived to take the kids for a sleepover! They were so excited.
Kylie and Hayden had so much fun with Grandma Shari and Grandpa Gary. They helped rake leaves and jumped in the piles and watched some fun movies and dancing. I met up with them at 3 and we joined Aunt Kendra and Uncle Jake and went to Cornbelly's! There was so much to do and of course the kids wanted to do it all!
Kylie got to do the zip-line for the first time this year (she was dying to last year). When we got up the tower and all hooked in, though, she started freaking out and crying. Luckily we were able to talk her through it and she was really brave and went with me! It was a lot of fun and she's already talking about doing it again next year. Hayden's favorite thing was being in charge of the map and telling us where to go next. We had so much fun and by the time it was dark the kids were tired and ornery and ready to go home.
