We went to the pumpkin patch! The kids had fun picking their pumpkin, playing in the blow up jumper, seeing the animals, going on a hay ride and doing the hay maze.
Although we would have had way more fun if we were not dying of heat stroke. I'm sure you will notice my kids beat red faces. Now if you add everyone sweating and being covered in dirt and hay and my sunburn that blistered that will make the day. It wouldn't be Halloween without it.
We also went to the zoo (got a sunburn there too) but I didn't have my camera.
We went to Tucson to visit D & B and I found a wonderful friend I didn't know I had. I mean why would they care about some half way ex in law cousin? But they let me and my 4 crazy kids come crash their day and eat their food (which was very good by the way)and mess up their house and keep them up late and they never blinked an eye. They smiled and hugged me They are so nice they make me want to cry (don't worry I will do that in private). I love seeing couples who are happy and in love. And now I have experienced the awesomeness of the lovely miss B. Smile.
After a meeting with the sisters it is decided that we have a disorder, in which we do not know what to do when people are nice to us and we feel weird and guilty and you are waiting for the other shoe to drop because it catches you off guard. We have been exposed to way too many mean people.
Then the next day we went to Thatcher to see some long lost friends who we have had a tradition of carving pumpkins with nearly every Halloween for the past 8 years. They also are some of those nice folk who welcome you in and let you sleep and eat and play at their house. Our kids paired up perfectly and ran wild having the best time. Kaden even got his fix shooting potato guns and playing with fire because the Dad's were playing with fire. They never complained about wanting to go home and asked when we could go back before we had even left. I got car sick on the way home, I'm lucky that way. But we had a lot of fun and wish we lived closer because the kids have decided that we love them so much we must be related to them.
Then believe it or not we went to Grandpas 65th birthday party! Oh how we love him! I think it is time to retire and start acting old.
