PUMPKINTOWN

Yesterday we met up with the Heinz Family and went "Trunk or Treating" at Cedar Valley Community Church. The line was as far as the eye could see! We probably waited in line for an hour, but it was good to talk to Brenda and Jason and get to know them a little bit more.

Now these people are not messing around when it comes to "Trunk or Treating"! There were some really cute ideas; "A Sleepover Party", with sleeping bags, bowls of popcorn and music playing, "Noah's Ark", "Green Bay Packers Fans", "Firefighters", "The Crocodile Hunter", "Sister Act", "A Hawkeye Fan" sitting in a recliner watching TV and eating popcorn! There were sooooo many awesome trunks. I wish I had gotten more pictures of them!

It was so funny to hear all of the people commenting on how funny Oliver's costume was! The firefighters said, "Let me guess... Pee Wee Herman!" Later on I overheard them talking about how cool his costume was again. One girl told her mom, "Mom, where's Dad? He has got to see this costume!" We were about 15 cars up when some guy (probably her dad) came up to him and said, "Now that's a great costume!". I told Ollie, "How are we going to outdo Pee Wee Herman next year!!!" He even did the Pee Wee laugh for people!!!

After that was done, we stood in line for a hay ride, which was just around the church's parking lot. The wagon was pretty full and I was sitting on a wobbly piece of hay that tilted every time the wagon made a turn. I was flexing my cheeks, trying to stay on top of the bale of hay. (Like THAT'S gonna keep me from rolling off of it!!!) We laughed when the ride was over because it kind of jerked us forward. Brenda said, "I guess that's how they make you get off!"

After that we ventured into PUMPKINTOWN where there were pumpkins for sale, games to play, crafts to make and some goats to check out. We got some fun pictures of the kids and a funny one of the goats standing erect against the fence! For the most part it was a beautiful sunny day. As the day went on, it got windier and alot more chilly!!! It was a really fun afternoon!
