Barn Hill Preserve Field Trip

Avery and I went on her second field
trip of the year to Barn Hill Preserve and
Pumpkin Patch. They had lots of wild
animals roaming about. We were able to hold
a baby kangaroo as well. There were some older
kangaroos in this pin and when Avery and I tried
to pet it well... it bit me and scratched her on the
face. It was a little traumatic for my girl! But we
shook it off and had a great time.

Happy Halloween!

Our last event as the pirate family was
trick or treating on Halloween night. This year
we visited a friends neighborhood instead of
our own and it was a welcome change. Thanks
to our friends who own a golf cart and a Polaris
this momma didn't have to walk at all! We just
drove from house to house while the kids got
out. It was a blast!

Fall Festivial at Church

The pirate family made another appearance
at our church's fall fest and truck or treat
on Sunday evening. The kids enjoyed games,
treats, hot dogs, snow cones, and cotton
candy!

Acadian Village Field Trip

Aaron and I embarked on his first 3rd grade field trip
to Acadian Village in Lafayette. He learned all about
his cajun heritage.

Pumpkin Carving with Friends

We had a pumpkin carving party with
a few friends. This was the first time in
several year that we have carved some.
Avery thought it was gross and in the end
it was mommy and daddy who finished
them up.

Boo at the Zoo

We made our annual trip to Boo at the
Zoo last weekend as the pirate family! Gram
was able to join us as well. The weather was
beautiful and the kids got bags full of
goodies.

Camping!

We went camping with our good friends
this weekend at Percy Quinn State Park
in Mississippi. This was our first time camping
without the scouts. We had such a great time!
We hiked, fished, played games, roast hot
dogs, and made smores. It is so good to have
these experiences with friends!

Walking Field Trip

Avery had a first field trip of the year.
It was the walking field trip where the kids
visit local businesses, the police station, and
the fire station. It is great to see our community
showing an interest in the children. The kids
sampled fried catfish, yogurt, got locked in
jail and toured the fire station. It was so much
fun and the kids were wiped out afterwards!

Aaron and his best bud

This is a picture his best friends mom took of
the boys and Jackson's sister... I thought it was
such a cute picture!

Pumpkin Decorating

Our bank is having a pumpkin decorating
contest and the kids wanted to participate.
Here are their pumpkins all completed...
BB8 and Elsa!
