Fun on the Farm . . .

I so did not change the picture format mid way through my upload! Why does blogger suddenly decide to shift my pictures to the left when I had clearly marked for them to be centered. Ugh!

We kicked off the super long Halloween 5 day vacation at the in-laws house- Ben and Amanda more specifically. Nevada celebrates it's

statehood on October 31ST . Because of this we usually get the last Friday in October off of school.

It was such a hard night! Kiera was feeling so shy that she wouldn't leave my side, Cambria broke into tears three different times, once because she found Pete on the very first try of "Don't eat Pete!" and didn't get to play anymore, the next time because she scraped her hand on the stucco wall and the third time because she gently hit a boy because he and his friends were relentlessly teasing her about being a witch (hard to get after her on that one because truth be told I would of hit those mean boys myself if I were her- but I did scold her, hence the tears) Raia was screaming because she is Raia, and that is what she does. The only one who had a blast was Malachi. And he really really had a good time, so maybe all that bad was worth it just for him.

In the end Cambria decided that she did have a good time after all, Kiera's competitive attitude kicked in during the games and that ended her shyness and Raia fell asleep in my mother-in-law's arms. By the end of the night I was ready for Halloween to be over, and let me remind
you, it was only Thursday night.

Pictures from the party:

Staheli Farm in St. George is most definitely an event that must be on your October family to do list. Between corn mazes, home-made carnival rides, pig races and s'mores made by campfire, this place is packed full of fun! My kids had an absolute blast! We can't wait to go back next year.

Bubba loved that we were pulled out to the corn maze on a big wagon pulled by a tractor. Oh, and Kai was just a little sleepy:) There are lots of eyes closed in this post.

In the corn field maze:

I forgot to take mu sunglasses off!

My cute little pumpkin!
And low and behold, who should we run into while coming out of the maze, my cousin Kellie and her cute little family that I haven't seen for more than a year.It was so random and so fun! Our kids had such a great tme together. I am sure it added to the specialness of the event!

The day before Halloween the City of Mesquite was out in full force Trick or Treat mode. I didn't see but one person out and about on Sunday night. We went trunk or treating at the church, attempted to attend the police man hosted trunk or treat, but it was way to crowded, and then went to a neighborhood very famous for it's trick or treat fun!

The end!
