If I hadn't have experienced it myself, I don't think I would believe it! Seventy degrees on Halloween in AA. Usually it's freezing cold and you have no idea what any costume looks like because we are all covered in our winter coats, hats and gloves (OK, maybe I am exaggerating a little). It was the greatest Halloween night.

I had my little fairy princess here,

a pretty scary looking viking warrior, a very nice witch and a crazy Michigan fan (not pictured).

I love, love the leaves from this tree. Such a pretty red, especially with the sun on them--the perfect photo op.

Here's my big two-year-old, trick-or-treater going up to my neighbor's house. She never got cold with her little bare arms! Unbelievable, maybe I could live here forever.

Jake pinning the "spider" on the web. I was in charge of this activity and BINGO, which we called GHOST, at his school party. Look at him getting it pretty close to the middle!

Fall is just not complete without one trip to Jenny's Farm Stand. We usually go a few times, but this year the time flew by and Halloween was almost here and we hadn't made it. Luckily, for us the weather warmed up and we got to make the trip the day before Halloween. It was so fun! The kids loved all the little animals......

the straw maze....

they all loved running and climbing up, in and around this big pile of straw.

The pumpkins were almost gone, but they still had enough for a cute little picture with Estee.

Here we are swinging on this fun little swing.....right before it broke! Nice.

And the very favorite thing was riding the ponies. Estee LOVED riding the "horsey". She was so dang cute on the big ol' pony.

I almost forgot! The best part of Jenny's Farm Stand is the fresh DONUTS!! They are the best donuts of all time, hands down. If you come visit in the fall, or if you live here, you must have one! We usually get some of the peach, or pineapple salsa which is quite tasty. Almost every trip to Jenny's is followed by a stop for a burger at the A&W old time drive-in. We had a great night that ended with a home-made root beer, yummy!

Cute Cute Pictures! Estee looks so much like you in that picture on the bench. Halloween had a great weather here too, I loved it. So don't get any ideas, you should move back :)
Your kids were dang cute this year. Jake was awesome at the ward party. I was making all the kids make noises to represent their costumes and his was very impressive!
I keep waiting for the horror pictures of you dealing with a screaming baby and toddler for hours on end. But of course not...you are Janie!
It looks like you had a great Halloween! Embracing all Michigan has to offer :) Cutest pictures!
This post made me miss AA--my favorite time of year in fall and Jenny's--now I'm craving a pumpkin donut! Pete got some when he was in town, as did my in-laws, both of which called me to tell me how fun Jenny's was and how great the donuts were! So mean! Fun to see cute pics of your kids costumes! Any plans to visit Utah? I really want to do a family Michigan trip a year from this summer, or next fall. Will you still be there?
