Fall festivities

It's finally beginning to feel like Fall here in the desert--in the mornings at least.  By afternoon it's back near 80.  Bleh.

A couple weekends ago was the Fall Festival at the elementary school.  Rich and I brought with us Obi Wan, Venom, Chewbaca, and a spy.

There were lots of fun games, prizes, and even a haunted house.

William even won a gold fish which he named Fred.

Unfortunately, Fred only lasted until the next morning. Poor dead Fred.

Saturday morning we headed up to Gilcrease Orchard for pick out some pumpkins.  Next year we need to head there earlier in the season so that we can pick apples.  It is about 5 minutes from our house and it is awesome! We didn't get to stay for long because Rich had to go help the scouts with a fundraiser.  We did have a fun time picking pumpkins though and brought home some really yummy cider.

 We also went to the ward trunk-or-treat this past weekend.  James decided on Spiderman this time.  It's a good thing we have a basket full of costumes at our house!

And since we didn't get to stay long at the orchard the week before we headed back.  This time for a free hay ride and some apple cider donuts.  William wasn't sure he wanted to go back... but in the end he was really glad that he joined us. 

I love that we live so close to these mountains!

 At one point we had to drive around some cars and the wagon smashed some pumpkins.  The boys thought it was super cool.

There is so much fun to be had in the Fall!
