Halloween Festival!

We enjoyed a fun evening at our church's Halloween Festival. Maddie got to wear her Tinkerbell outfit for the 4th time this week! You could say we have made the most of this Halloween for sure!

When we first arrived we decorated our own Trick or Treat bag! Maddie's was the cutest!

Then we decorated a pumpkin with a Frankenstein face!

Katie was able to join us for the night and was such a big help! Maddie enjoyed hanging out with her too.

After finishing our pumpkin we headed for the bouncy house!

Maddie jumped.....

...and jumped

....and jumped some more!

Of course we had to take advantage of this precious photo op!

Happy Halloween!!!

Happy Fall....Happy Halloween!!

Our family has been enjoying this lovely fall weather and have been taking full advantage of everything it has to offer! A couple of weeks ago we visited the Pumpkin Patch and had a ball!

Not sure what was happening in this picture but Maddie was not interested!

At the pumpkin patch, we enjoyed a covered wagon ride, a hay maze, lots of pumpkins, great food, a "twactor twain" ride and the most adventurous part of the day...the inflatables....

They were huge, kind of scary, but lots of fun. I think Maddie's face in the picture below says it all!

We also enjoyed another visit to Boo at the Zoo this year! Nana and Pop came along to join in the fun!

Maddie was too interested in the Pumpkin Man to be bothered with a photo op!

Doesn't she make a precious Tinkerbell!

These two were pretty excited to see the little princess!!

Riding the Carousel

Of course, the petting zoo was our favorite!

The goats were pretty cool....

Checking out the Llamas with Daddy!


"Is she really taking another picture of me?"


Next we hit the Trick or Treat Village and boy was this fun!!

Candy, Candy!!

This Trick or Treating thing is pretty cool Daddy!

To end the night we enjoyed at delicious dinner at Johnny Rockets!!

and...Tinkerbell's out!

More to come from our Halloween Festival at church! We hope you all have a Happy Halloween!

Lions, Tigers, and Bears...Oh My!

Today, Maddie and I enjoyed a wonderful visit to the Montgomery Zoo with our friends Tanya, Lydia, and Parker. We left out early this morning filled with excitement for the day to come. We had more fun than I could have imagined. Maddie was so entertained by all the animals and you better believe we saw every single animal in that zoo!!!

We started with the turtles. Of course, Maddie called them dogs but they were still cute!

Maddie and Lydia checking out the bear.

This guy is catching some rays!

We then moved on to the Squirrel Monkeys. Maddie felt that she needed to stand in her stroller in order to get a better view. :)

One of her favorites of the day were the flamingos. We made several trips by the flamingo exhibit and each time she had to crawl out of her stroller and over to the fence to check them out.

I like to call this the "Mom, what in the world is that?" look. Honestly, it is part rabbit, part antelope, and a very strange looking animal at that.

Next we visited the cougar. Maddie called out "hey kitty kitty" every time he walked in front of us.

Lydia and Maddie were both curious about this beautiful Bald Eagle.

The kiddos checking out the gigantic snapping turtle. Isn't this adorable?

Checking out the lions.

and the giraffes!

We also took a train ride around the zoo!

They also had a huge playground!

Next we visit the Mann Museum. This exhibit was extraordinary!

We ended the day by visiting the monkeys!
