Halloween 2013

We had the opportunity to go to the American West Heritage Centers Fall Harvest...

They have all sorts of fun activities.  The funniest part of the night was when we did the corn maze.  We all got terribly lost, and so Bryan pulled out the map and started leading us out of the maze (or at least trying!).  As people noticed that he "acted" like he knew where he was going, we started to get quite a large group following behind us. They would see other "lost" people and say "Oh this guy knows where he is going, follow along!"  There were probably 50 people! It took probably about 45 minutes for Bryan to get us out of that thing, and as we exited, everyone behind us cheered.

They put tarps on a big hill for sliding down... Hailey thought it was awesome to go down on Dads back!

 Target practice...

 Shooting Gourds...

 Hailey got tired. Carter offered to carry her, so cute!  Sometimes they do get along ;)

 This was after attending a Fall Harvest party at our church.  My brother Glen and his family joined us.  It was fun to get some time to hang out with them!  Hailey dressed as something different for each party we attended!  This day she was a witch.  She sure does love her daddy!

 We also went down to Layton one evening to join my parents at their local Junior High for a Fall Festival.  

 My brother joined us with my two nieces Izzy and Alivya and we also brought our friends Mark and Hannah from home

 This skeleton guy is really cool.  He is on a wheelchair and is controlled by a remote.  One person controls his movement, and another guy controls his voice.  Alivya was a little creeped out!

 Apparently running  around Grandpa to get our energy out is fun...

 Hailey dressed as a kitty for her dance class...

 Hailey had the opportunity to perform some fun Halloween dances for us...

 She did such a good job and was so stinkin' cute!

 Helping with the MANY MANY leaves in our yard...

 Carving Pumpkins...

 Bryan and I helped with Carters Halloween Party at school.  He is in the fourth grade and I struggled trying to come up with a cool craft that they wouldn't think was nerdy since they are getting older.  This is what I came up with: Blow up balloons, put glow sticks inside, and draw faces on them.  They were a hit, and lots of the kids said it was their favorite activity....whew.... I think I passed :)

We turned off the lights so they could all see if their balloons glowed.  You can't really see it in the picture, but it looked really cool!

Carter is in the green shirt.  He was dressed in his karate uniform, but took off the shirt, because his classroom was pretty warm

 Sillies....

 Halloween Night..

Carter and Dad are Wolves, I am the Grandmother, and Hailey is Little Red Riding Hood

 Those wolves were pretty hungry...

 This wolf likes to eat rocks...

One of the neighbors had a fire going, and let the kids roast marshmellows.  They also had hot chocolate, what a great idea!
