October - Part II

Wesley's parents came in for a visit over Halloween which was a fun treat.  We went to a corn maze at Anderson Farms one day.  It had all sorts of cute "rides" and such. 




Hayride

 Weee!

 Corn Maze

 Barrel Rides - they called it the Red Neck Roller Coaster

 

 Animals, including baby goats and a baby alpaca

 Pedal Cars

 Kiddie Corn Maze - the kids found it more fun to play on top of the stalks of hay rather than walk through the maze

 Ready for lunch

 Riding to/from - we swapped kids for the rides, Cooper enjoyed having Maddie's company on the way up

For Christmas last year, I got Wesley a play airplane that he can fly.  He'd had one previously, one that would take off with you holding, but was just a tad too small.  I thought I'd get him one a little bigger.  Much to Wesley's surprise (and mine) this new one was BIG!  The wing span was almost as tall as me.  It's the kind that needs a runway to take off.  We tried it out when Wesley's parents came to visit. 

The boys surrounded by the plane.  Jake was such a big helper helping put the plane together. 

 At the nearby school ready to fly the plane, and then taking a fun break at the playground

 It's made of styrofoam, need I say more?  A lot of tape was used to mend the plane every time it crashed.  Here's some pics of fixing the plane, playing, wrestling, potty breaks...

 Races and such

 Backyard fun

 Playing at Clint and Kara's

 Jake's preschool had a little parade one day to show off their costumes.  Here's our batman:

 Here's our little stinker, Cooper, the skunk:

 Our ward had a carnival, with lots of fun activities.  One of our favorites was Whack-a-boy.  The 12-13 year old boys recreated whack-a-mole and you got to whack them with inflatable hammers.  What kid wouldn't love the chance to whack someone?
