Happy Halloween!

Tradition takes us to Lakeview Farms pumpkin patch for the train and boat rides:

We decided not to wait for Mike to come with us on a Saturday (who wants the Saturday crowds?) and took Grandma on a weekday instead.

Zach managing the wheelbarrow:

Nicholas on the train:

Brooke found her pumpkin:

Carving pumpkins. We actually grew the white ones in our garden!

My traditional huge pumpkin cookie:

Some years it's pumpkin shaped brownies or sugar cookie, this year it's chocolate chip!
David and Brooke are headed to storytime at the library in their costumes:

David figuring out the Halloween candy (no, I didn't let him have any - we're kinda funny that way):

Zach, Nicholas, and Brooke heading out for trick-or-treating:

Now it's time to take down the Halloween decorations and move onto Thanksgiving!
May the holiday madness begin!
