At the end of October, Jen texted me and asked if we were busy and if Logan could spend the weekend with us. Of course!!! Logan had a Dr's appt in Seattle on Friday October 25th, so they were going to meet us at the Corn Maze that's 10 minutes from our house.
We got there before them so we went ahead and did one maze. Ella and Jack when it one maze and Zeke and I went in the other maze. Zeke and I were finished with our maze in no time and then we sat outside the other maze waiting for Ella and Jack to come out. They were in there so long we ended up calling them to make sure they were okay.
I think in all we waited about 20 minutes for them to get out.
Right after they finished the one maze Logan and Jen showed up.
Jack, Ella and Logan then went to the maze that they hadn't done yet and then Jen, Zeke and I went to the one we hadn't done. Of course we finished that one before them as well. In fact they actually didn't even finish finding all the checkpoints they just got tired and found the way out! :)
On Sunday, October 27th, our church had our Fall Festival. This time around it was a bit more stressful for me planning wise, but thankfully the volunteers were rockstars so the event went great! Ga-Ga, Cathie and Debra held down the fort in the kitchen. These ladies work really well together!
Michael was grilling the hot dogs and Craig was his assistant. Thankfully this year it wasn't raining!
Kristi was ready at the prayer station.
Micah and Scott were heading up balloon animals.
We had 10 games total...Jack and Andrew were running the golf game.
Owen and Liam were stationed at the Axe Throwing...Liam was really taking it to another level!
Ella and Justine were running the Pop-A-Shot.
Bertie & Clayton were running a Tossing Game.
We had rock painting which is always a hit! Gail & Linda were at this station.
We also had a few people doing face painting. There was a whole other room with more games that I didn't get any pictures of. We also had caramel apples and fresh popped popcorn for people to take on their way out of the event.
On Halloween night we headed down to Ga-Ga & Pa's house. This year the Kuch Family couldn't make it so it wasn't nearly as fun. Plus these kids are getting older so it's just not the same as when they were little kiddos!
Owen bought himself a new mask this year so he's even freakier looking. Jack has been a Knight's Templar for 3 years in a row. This was Zeke's 2nd year being a Seahawks player. Even though Ella never got to wear her hippy costume last year I couldn't convince her to wear it this year. She has decided that she is too old to trick or treat and she's done with that.
Side Note: This day was exactly 1 year since Ella last threw up. A whole year!!! There was time when I would be excited she if made it 2 weeks without throwing up. I'm so glad we've gotten her migraines under control. This has honestly been the best year for her health wise!
Zeke was acting freaked out by Ella's "scary" costume! Hahahaha!
Mine turn! Ahhhhh!!!
Owen is such a creeper in this picture....lurking in the background!
Had to take a picture of them actually trick or treating. Who knows this might be their last year!
But then again Owen was like it's free candy...of course I'm going trick or treating! :)
