This is the funniest game.  The object is to try to be the first to eat your donut.  The trick is no hands.

Halloween Spooktacular

I volunteered for the first time on Friday night at Noah’s Landing for their Halloween Spooktacular.  I volunteered in the nocturnal small animal barn…there were tree porcupines, fennec foxes, serval cat, bengal cats, giant tortoises, a spring hare and an armadillo.  I had so much fun with the different animals.  Chris and the kids came with some of our friends to trick or treat with the animals.

Halloween Crafts

The kids really enjoyed reading books about Halloween and making crafts.  Unfortunately I didn’t take pics of most of our activities.

Green Acres is the place to be

I love Fall!  There are so many fun places to go and enjoy the season.  We spent Friday at a farm named Green Acres.   green acres (2) green acres (3)

We enjoyed the hay ride.  I thought it was interesting that the cows were in the water despite the cold weather.  green acres (4) green acres (5)
