Zoo

I recently made the mistake of taking the kids to the zoo on a Saturday when an event was taking place. I wanted to go and check out Boo at the Zoo. We were not going to a pumpkin patch this year, it was advertised that there would be a pumpkin patch at this event, and I wanted some cute fall pictures.

First we waited in line to see the new koala exhibit. Cute.


Then we headed to the main event. First off was the hay maze. Rob did manage to get one shot of Guinevere with a bow in her hair before it was lost. None of the other children in this rather lame hay maze. The other kids all made there way to more interesting exhibits like painting picture of a cow.


When Joseph found out the the cow that he had drenched in paint had to stay at the booth to dry and be retrieved later we ended up with this.


After all this fun we lost Jacob to the play area. It was at this time that Rob pointed out the "pumpkin patch" that I had come for. I was somewhat less then optimistic when I sat out to wait in line with the three girls for our turn in the "pumpkin patch." After getting this lovely picture we left. Oh the way home we enjoyed a choir of screaming, thus rounding out a beautiful morning at the zoo.

Halloween

I am finally posting pictures again. Sorry to all our family and friends who have been oh so patiently waiting for me to get my life together and post pictures of the kids.

We had quite the Halloween this year. First on Friday we had a trick-or-treat thing at Rob's work in the afternoon, and then London had a thing at her school in the evening. Then Saturday we had the ward Halloween party, and Sunday night the kids went out in the trick-or-treating in the neighborhood. After three straight days of Halloween we ended up with way too much candy, and two very worn out parents.

Before we went out trick-or-treating on Sunday Rob took the kids outside and got some great pictures of them. London was a total ham for the camera. The boys were mostly cooperative, and as long as I did not try to put Guinevere's wings or hat on she tolerated pictures as well.











Total by chance the little girl that I baby sit was also a ladybug for Halloween. Guinevere was not very cooperative at Rob's work trick-or-treat until Esther got out her camera. Both girls loved looking at there pictures.
