Pumkin Patch & Halloween 2009

Another fun year at the pumpkin patch in wine country. A day filled with a tractor ride, corn maze, pony rides, petting zoo and the crazy pig races. Nana & Papa joined us for the fun fall tradition.


Kennedy Rose aka "Princess Gwendalyn" and Michael aka "Army Man" were so excited to get into their costumes. Princess Gwendalyn lived up to her royal part. Getting her to smile in pictures was a chore as she believed that Princesses don't smile. Army Man Michael loved jumping around and rolling in the grass.


This year we broke tradition. Instead of trick or treating in our old neighborhood with our old friends then heading over to the church for the carnival, we separated and conquered other activities. Kennedy and I headed over to her BFF Randalyn's house for their annual Halloween Party and Michael and Darren headed over to Cleveland's birthday party.

Kennedy had so much fun hanging out with Randalyn and the girls and trick or treating with them. She especially loved ordering everyone around like a princess does. I had fun visiting with friends and the best part.. finding out if Jackie (Randalyn's Mom) was having a boy or girl. The girls broke open the pinata to find that a little girl was to be born in April. So excited for them. Michael had fun at the birthday party. They started the night at a gigantic corn maze (Michael didn't like it.. tooooo BIG). Then they went trick or treating and then back to the house for crafts, science experiments and carmel apples. Although they had a great time at their respective parties, we are sticking together next year.
