october

wow, i have really been slacking on my posts lately.
so....update.
This October we went camping. Beautiful place called
shades state park. Lots of rain, but we still had fun.

We went to this giant festival in St. charles called the scarecrow festival.
Some friends from L.A.who are temporarily living here invited us, and it
was fun to soak up all that fall goodness. Until we lost Ian.
It happened so fast, but luckily they had bicycle police on every corner and
we found him pretty quick. so. terrifying.

We did some trick or treating last weekend at our little downtown. The kids
were excited to get on a costume early and had a chance to wear something
different than they were planning for halloween. They raided the costume bins
and got themselves ready. Ian has been wearing that dinosaur for weeks.

We went to a pumpkin patch this weekend, went on a hayride, pet some baby animals, went through a corn maze. Ate some MORE candy. Im pretty sick of all this candy by now :)

I didn't get any of the good animals in the photos (sorry goat) but there was this giant llama...so scary walking around growling at everyone. And a baby cow...aww.
Here are some cuties on a hay ride.
