Down to the Farm

The last two weekends we were able to head down to the farm. We hadn't been since Labor Day and Brooklyn has grown quite a bit since then and is able to do more each visit. Not much longer and she will know all the farm animals too.

Leafs galore!

Brooklyn had a blast playing with the leafs in the front yard.

We piled them up so she was able to walk through them.

Playing in the leafs wore Brooklyn out as she fell asleep on PaPa. He had a busy weekend with the trail ride and decided to take a little snooze himself:)

Snapped a quick photo inside the combine wheel while checking out the farm equipment.

Logan came for a visit over deer season weekend. It was supposed to be a guys campout weekend but it was rained out. That allowed Logan to come to the house and play with Brooklyn.

Here's Brooklyn showing Logan and Dad some of her wrestling moves.

I think they had fun and it was kind of nice that Brooklyn didn't have to compete with any of her other cousins for play time. Logan is the lone boy (for now ;) )and all the girls seem to look up to him.

Playtime didn't just consist of "jumping off the top ropes", a little coloring took place too.

Dance

Brooklyn has been enjoying to dance and sing lately. We will probably regret having her on the table later on, but we decided not to fight it yet. Plus, look how cute she is. :)

I think she's happy. :)

Trick or Treat

Happy Halloween!
Dad went with a scary pig, Mom went with an alien, and Brooklyn's was a baby vampire.

For Brooklyn's second Halloween we headed out to a local pumpkin patch. Here we are on our hayride. This place was perfect for us. Brooklyn isn't quite to the age where she can enjoy all the activities at the larger patches. There was no entry fee and the hayrides were free.

We headed home after picking out our pumpkins. It was about time for Brooklyn to have lunch. The pumpkin patch must have wore her out cause she fell asleep with a cracker in her mouth :)

The day before Halloween, we carved our pumpkins. Brooklyn was more than happy to help Dad scoop out the guts of the pumpkin. She is such a good helper.

Halloween night Charlie asked Brooklyn if she wanted to go outside and of course she did. She was not loving her costume but once she realized she could go outside if she left it on and put her shoes on, she was willing to wear it.

Above is Charlie and Brooklyn heading to their first of three houses to trick or treat.

Brooklyn and dad returning home. Three houses was enough for her.

She loved emptying out her candy bag.

Brooklyn enjoyed one KitKat stick and had chocolate all over her face. We are looking forward to next year when she will fully enjoy the holiday.
