It is exciting to watch as they get older how much more fun the holidays are getting for them.

This year the costumes were a fireman (Caleb), Indiana Jones (Camden) and Tinkerbell (Emma).

IMG_8129

We walked around our neighborhood for about an hour.

Caleb got cold and wanted to go home, so he started dancing on the sidewalk to keep warm.

IMG_8120

Camden charged on to each house for more candy. He would have stayed out all night if people would have continued passing out candy.

IMG_8124

Emma’s bucket was so heavy with candy she could barely carry it. But, we didn’t dare try taking it from her or she told us, “Don’t take my bucket”. She is a very independent girl.

IMG_8117

After going through our neighborhood, we went to the grandparents for the kids to show off their costumes and get more candy. Then it was home to eat a few pieces of candy and off to bed for three exhausted children.

This was their first parade and it was great to experience it through their eyes.

IMG_7485

Caleb and Camden were very excited about all of the candy that was thrown their way. We got so much we donated it to our church’s Harvest Fall Festival this weekend.

IMG_7478

Emma was a good sport and hung out in her stroller the entire time. She had a great time waving at all the people and collecting her own bag of candy.

IMG_7481

We were fortunate enough to run into a friend of the boys. Elijah and his family moved a couple of hours away 2 years ago and we don’t get to see them often enough. It was great for the kids to get to spend some time together.

This is a weekend we eagerly look forward to once the weather starts getting cooler.

IMG_7366

The kids favorite part is the huge playground. They also love the cider barrel train rides.

If the weather hadn’t been so cold this year, they probably would have played longer. But, we were freezing and got inside quickly to get all of our goodies and enjoy an apple treat.

IMG_7443

We, of course, got a 1/2 bushel of honeycrisp apples, a family favorite.

IMG_7376

The weekend before, we went to Rader Family Farm.  It is a pumpkin farm that has expanded this year and they had some fun things for the kids to do.

IMG_7474

We need to get back there soon to get our pumpkins for Halloween.
