Fall Carnival

On Sunday afternoon our church held it's annual Fall Carnival. It's basically where the kids can play games and collect candy and to invite their friends. Shelby was feeling a bit under the weather so I took the boys out.

There were about 16 stations for them to make their way around where they collected candy along the way. Here is Aaron at 2 stations....

And Kyle's turn...

Kyle got a T-Rex on his face...

While Aaron got a Gecko...and he found the cotton candy!

Mr Cowboy...with an attitude!

I don't think I have had Keira in the blog for a while, here she is showing off her candy. Keira's mom organized a lot of the event, which went very well, thanks for that E!

Cheese!

Viva was helping out at one of the stations at the carnival. She is also 5 months pregnant and doing well with the preganacy, we wish them all the best!

It was too bad Shelby couldn't make it out but its really about the kids having fun and they had a good time...next up Halloween!

Painted faces

On Saturday we went to the Cranberry Festival in Fort Langley. It was a nice day for the festival. Overall we didn't find that much interesting but the kids were really interested in getting their faces painted. They remember last year getting their faces painted by Jennifer H and this year we probably waited close to an hour to get their faces painted.

Can you guess what Kyle wanted to be?...

A tiger!

Then it was Aaron's turn....

Blue spiderman! (I'm not really sure who blue spiderman really is?)

The boys hanging out with Jerome the Gnome

Hanging out at the Fort Langley Community Hall

While we were waiting for the kids to get their faces painted, this dog came along, I don't think I really need to comment on this.

Overall the festival wasn't that exciting although there were lots of people there! We didn't even get cranberries! We did spend the day together as a family so that was good.

A visit to the Apple Barn

On Monday after school we headed out with some friends to the Apple Barn in Abbotsford. It was a beautiful fall day so it was perfect for picking some apples and pumpkins and enjoying all the other things the Apple Barn offers.

There is an old truck there that they have painted up to look like Mater

Why is it so difficult to get smiling faces????

Kyle in the bunny room. They have a bit of a petting zoo for the kids to enjoy. There is the bunny side and then the goat side. Aidan and Kyle were the brave ones of our group who ventured into the goats with me. Those goats were a bit pushy.

They have a huge inflatable pillow/trampoline. I think this was a highlight of the adventure.

The slide below is one of two crazy steep slides they have there. Kyle went down this one and as he did it sounded like he was going to come right out the side of it because he was hitting the sides so hard. He only did it once than decided the slow one was better for him. As well as the slides they have a little corn maze for the kids, bee hives, pumpkin and apple picking, apple goods for sale and probably other stuff I didn't see. They even do hay rides on weekends.

Here they are doing some apple picking.

The pylon on Kyle's head was supposed to go on our car but we walked to the field instead of driving.

This was a great way to start off our week! We had lots of fun.
