saunders farm in the fall

The Sunday before Halloween we finally made it to Saunders Farm to check out all the Fall activities they host each year. I forgot how much fun it is there at Halloween!


Our weekends have been so busy lately I'm happy that we squeeeeeezed this in.

Somehow after R's hockey practice, and before both kids swimming lessons and R and K taking R's buddy B and his dad Rick, to the Sens game...

We managed to drive out to Saunders to meet Karen, Craig & D and take in...

Many many mazes.
Some orange cotton candy and pumpkin spice whoopie pies.
A jump on the bouncy carpets.
The pumpkin patch hayride and the {super scary} haunted hayride.
A verrrry long play in the {super cool} playground/barn.
The petting zoo.
And the discovery barn.

And of course I took the traditional 'How Tall this Fall' photo...


{but it looks like both kids were distracted by something better happening at the Discovery Barn}!

There are so many other fun things to do at the Farm, but we ran out of time! Next year we will make more time and do it all and more again.

spooky

The boy wanted to be spooky creepy scary this Halloween...
.
When I found a skeleton costume for him he thought it was OK, but it needed a little work.


So he and I found the chains {lovely}. And then the scythe {???} - that is what he calls the thing on the stick {I just call it creepy}. And then I had a very happy boy all ready to go trick or treating with his little sister and his buddy D {that was dressed as a dead zombie hockey goalie}. Spooky...

me hearties

Ahoy ye landlubbers!
Miss S wanted to be a 'pirate princess' for Halloween...

and I'd say she was the cutest little pirate I've ever seen!
Blow the man down...


Avast! Blimey!

{this is when Miss S thought she put a hole in her skirt with her sword...aye aye}
Aye Aye!



She had a great Halloween night trick-or-treating and gathering all her booty.

Fair Winds! Happy Halloween!
