Black Island Farms and Pumpkin Carving

Our annual trip to Black Island Farms was as always fun! This time the boys got to fire the corn cannons. Oh man the phrase "Boys and their toys" doesn't even cover the excitement they had!

 The first time Matthew shot it it sailed clean over the hay bails and out in the middle of the field!

 Christopher just wanted to hit something we had to keep him away till the guy got it loaded.

 Jeffrey was rearin to go to they both had to be held back but once they could fire it was awesome!

 He wanted Eddie to ride with him but Eddie is just too squirmy now. He still had fun!

 Jeffrey had to hold Eddie down until it started moving then Eddie was glad to sit.

 Hay ride and pumpkin time!

 If we answered a question correctly we got an extra pumpkin. Oh yeah I got it right!!! Too bad our extra pumpkin was rotten two days later...

 And here are the results of our pumpkins! Its the angry bird clan with a small faced big mouthed addition from Grandpa!

Top right: pig, red bird, blue bird and yellow bird.

Top left: chicken and pumpkin face.

Our monthly dinner with the Ricks, Ludlows and Coles. The weather was so beautiful and there were so many people we kept it outside. It was a great time! Thanks to all who came and can't wait till the haunted houses and the next party!!

 Time to eat!

 Eli has a squirt gun aimed at Grandpa, I wonder how that will end?

 Craig is showing Connor his vampire teeth. The left tooth wasn't cooperating.

 The girls were too cool to sit with the adults and Josh. Poor Josh. They let him in eventually.

More family eating. Look at Claire she is so cute! And Randy is having a good time...I think. Thanks again it was way fun!

Matthew and Matt's orthodontist hosted a Patient Appreciation night at Punkinaze. So we took the Cole's, Ludlow's and Grandpa and Grandma. Thanks Dr. John!!

Izzy and Eddie loved the slide. He really did! 

 Does he look bored?

 See I told you he liked it! I think Julia does too.

 Sophie and Matthew posing for the pic.

Chris needed a little boost at first but then he did it by himself. 

 Parker was a wild man!

 Grandma went up to help and was coaxed down. Go grandma!

 I knew they were monsters!

 I thought Izzy was upset about something at first but then I realized she is playing her part!

Cuties! 

Happy couple. She is born to play that role!

Eddie loves his donut and the slide. He screamed his head off when we headed to the maze. 

Group shot after the maze. The maze was fun but the shots I took weren't very good cuz no one wanted to stop for a pic they wanted to find the candy stations. It was great fun, thanks for coming Grandma and Grandpa!

The Greatest show on Earth was actually pretty good this year! It might have been the company?

 Eddie and Matthew are mesmerized before it even starts.

 Christopher instantly wants a toy and food.

 Jeffrey is just happy to be sitting next to Izzy and watching the show.

 Let the show begin.

 Elephants were one of the favorites!

Balancing act. 

 Matthew couldn't wait for the second half to start so he could see the tigers.

Coolest part of the show. Way to go Ringling, see ya next year!
