Halloween Fun

We were lucky enough to celebrate Halloween many times.  And who doesn't want massive quantities of candy for their kids.  

Our first celebration was at Smith Lake, while David was still in Afghanistan.  

We went with the Clark family.  

Pretty sure Joshua made the perfect, and cutest, minion.  

This was his first Halloween where he could really participate.  It didn't take him long to figure out what to do.  

Big Riley, Little Riley and Hannah 

Riley wanted a picture with this person.

The next event was our church's Halloween carnival.  

Notice Riley's costume change.  

With Grandma Fox, on Halloween..  

Joshua lasted about 30 minutes, then decided it was much easier to sit with me and Rebecca (we were handing out candy) and just eat out of our bowl.  

Maddie, Hannah, Riley and Joshua.

Legofest

I thought I had posted these already, but I haven't.  So here are the photo's from Legofest.  

Create A Nation

When we decided to go to Legofest, I supported it but thought it was a little pricey at $20 a person.  After being there, I consider it money well spent and completely worth the money.  

Inside a shark

Both girls had such a good time, though the spent very little time together. 

And the tickets gave each person 3.5 hours of lego mania. 

At the Lego friends area  

There were different stations, somewhere between 10 and 15, I'd say.  

Lego Pile; a huge pile of legos.  Riley spend a lot of time here.  

Beside the tiger.  Riley insisted on having her photo taken with every lego statue there.  

Cinderella

Hannah's creation at the lego pile.  It is a bed. 

Joshua, just chilling. 

Stars Wars Legos

Hannah and David spent a long time in this section.  I can't remember what it was called.  

This is what they built.  

Lego City

Hannah's car.  She's so proud of it because it was quite the feat to get our hands on those wheels!  

Driving around Lego City with Becca.

Joshua was entertained for a long time, but eventually sleep won.  

This is the group we went with.  The guy in the yellow shirt is Chris, the site pastor for the church we're launching.  

A last minute shot with Hannah.  

Hubbs Corn Maze

I've had these pictures for quite some time.  However, I was waiting for the pictures at the end of this post, before I completed the post.  

So this was about two weeks before Halloween.  We took the girls out to Hubbs Corn Maze.  

That's Hannah, mid jump, over the red stripe.  

You may remember that we took the girls to a corn maze last year, Konow Farms in Illinois.  The girls loved it.  Hannah had a blast navigating the maze with David.  

There's Riley and David.  Riley wanted to jump, of course but she she's so small she had to have help.  Hannah's off to the left.  

Grandma and Grandpa Fox joined us for the maze.  There's Hannah in front, taking the lead.  

Riley wanted to participate, naturally.  The ground was pretty bumpy, which made for lots of stumbling.  

Having a mid maze snack.  

The maze was split into two sections.  After the first section, I took Riley out to let her play on some of the stuff set up for kids, like this dirt and tire mound.  

After Hannah successfully got David and Grandma Fox through the second part of the maze, Hannah and Riley went for a ride together.  

After having a picnic in the parking lot, we decided to go back through the maze.  We didn't make it very far, though, because we had one tired girl.  And two girls that we had to get home.  

These are the pictures I had to wait for.  It's because I had to brag on myself and Becca.  ; )

We went back through the corn maze at night, like a week later.  David and Ryan decided that Becca and I should navigate, while they follow along, only offering advice when necessary.  

We decided that Rebecca would lead while I used the map and told Becca the way to go.  I did use a pen to help me keep track of where I was.  I think Ryan and David offered assistance 3 times, maybe 4.  

At the end of the event, David and Ryan complimented Rebecca and I on how well we navigated the maze.  And I must admit, I was proud of myself!

And now you understand why I had to have these pictures before I completed this post!
