All things Halloween

SMALL ADDITION...I completely forgot about our adventure to Graves Moutain Lodge. This is yet another halloween festive activity that we had in October and this one even included Hunt! They have local bands, bundles and bundles of apples, local foods, pony rides (which we watched but would not participate in) and loads of pumpkins.
Harper on the hunt for the perfect pumpkin.
We loved this red painted pumpkin.
Hunt enjoying some time with the girls.

Halloween seems to be the holiday that we celebrate the BIGGEST at Woodberry. The great thing is everyone participates...we went to pumpkin patches, we went to blow-up parks, we had halloween parties, we trick-o-treated in the offices and we trick-o-treated for REAL...we had so much fun that it is now January and Harper still thinks that we should be trick-o-treating in the offices.
Liberty Mills is a new farm that gave all of us the best pumpkin experience ever! The girls forming a "pumpkin/gourd band".
Harper with "our finds"...right off the vine.
The sea of pumpkins...
Our littlest pumkin with little Reiss. Harper and her hand-picked pumpkin.
We even decorated our bed for Halloween with handmade pillowcases from Grandma Grandma.
"We're carving a pumpkin!"
Guttin' our pumpkin.
Happy Halloween!
Trick-o-treating in the offices...some of the kiddies. Harper was "Ladybug Girl" and Reiss was baby ladybug.

Hunt taking Harper thru the offices since trick-o-treating is a little scary.
Ready for lunch...or for treats.

Year 2: Oktoberfest of Ruckersville-Bigger and more than before.

Pure mayhem in the bouncer!
WEEEEEEEEEEE!
I have to admit, I got a little sick getting them up there...sliding down was a little scary. These kids shot off like rockets!

Reiss getting some snuggles from Sarah.
These girls love to snack...we must refuel!
Harper and Sophia horse barrel riding...
Careful, Careful Girls!
Enjoying our hayride. (Side note: I have to say big thanks to all my mom friends who help me accomplish any outing...there are always extra hands to pitch in to hold one baby or help chase a wild two year old!)
Harper giving Reiss her Halloween meal...
I think she got in more than I did!
Reiss - 3 (almost 4 months old)
The girls...Minnie Mouse, Bunny and Ladybug Girl
Harper and I dancing to "Thriller"
Harper skyping...before trick-o-treating.
Isn't she the cutest! We have to give the biggest props to Noni for creating Harper's costume. We not only have TWO sets of labybugs wings, but TWO sets of antenna for our dress up pleasure. Harper LOVED her costume, and man did we get our wear out of it...I think it was worn at least 6 times. One evening we were walking Watson and someone asked me..."does she have her costume on again?!" Yes, she does...WHY NOT!
Back shot...again...too cute!
Off into the night with Dad...happy trick-o-treating!
