We love Fall! It's been a fun and exciting month full of bright colors and cooler weather. Not to mention lots of fun adventure.
This is Connor's Farm. It's actually this really cool market where they have organic everything from juice, breads, produce, to so much more made right there . It also has an Orchid where you can go pick your own berries, and apples. Like I said they literally have EVERYTHING. Outside they have like a 30ft high wall full of pumpkins for Halloween. They also have a little hay maze and corn play pit for the kids. I think we spent 2 hours or so there just letting the kids play. The really enjoyed climbing on all the pumpkins, and of course we got pictures for the small price of gum. I love the bottom right picture because Logan was talking and Hudson didn't like it so much so he covered his mouth and told him to be quiet. KIDS!!!
These are pictures from Russell's Orchids. It's this huge apple orchid with 60 different varieties. You go there to pick apples, play with farm animals, and they also have a play ground for the kids. There's a little shop to buy treats where we got the yummiest apple cider. I wrote captions under each picture, but to elaborate the farm equipment is run on organic apple diesel, so every time it passes by it smells like apple doughnuts. This is where we picked pumpkins for the kids to decorate.
I got paints at the local Stop N Shop (very popular grocery store in Mass). Logan and Jace painted their little pumpkins for Halloween. Maybe next year we will carve, but for now painting was just up their ally!
Date Night! Sounds great huh? Well Dustin and I have a deal with some great friends where we take turns babysitting kids. It's a really nice solution to having no family around to give you breaks. So this night we went to Salem, Ma (yes the famous town of the Salem witch trials). I enjoyed every minute. What's Halloween without one night of spooky treats? So we went to a 3D haunted house called Salem's 13 Ghost. I think Dustin's favorite part was the pirate's plank that you had to walk across. The water looked so real so you were so careful not to fall in. Everyone in Salem dresses up when they go just for fun. Well in the top left picture with the Frankenstein, we got quite the surprise. I saw the "statue" and said he we should get a picture with that and I started walking toward it. I paused and said well wait someone walk up to him and make sure he's not real first, and right at that second he started walking toward me. Yes I squeaked right in the middle of downtown Salem.
Last but not least here are pictures from the wonderfully planned and executed Halloween party we went to. It was Halloween Survivor (like the TV show). There were a series of 5 games that we played. I think Dustin and I were out by round 3, but still enjoyed every minute. Great costumes, trick or treating for the kids, and fun relay races, make up the perfect recipe for a great Halloween.

Cute pics!! I love the collages. I makes it easier to include more pics in your post with out making it 12 miles long!
So much to comment on! Very cool about the apple tractor. Love all the cool outdoor farm places to go. Looks like a great party, and great date night..you guys look great!! I just read a book surrounding the witch trials, it was good..."The Physik book of Deliverance Dane".
Cute party! Remember the one we threw at Old Academy? Fun times. Ok, am I blind. Where's Logan's costume. I remember last year he was the CUTEST lion.
It looks as if you have such a good, fun group to hang with and share special times with. I agree with you that it makes it even better when the kids of our best friends get along with our kids. All of the pictures are great and look like you are having a very good time. That's how it was when we lived in R.I. Everyone was like family as we all moved there from UT, AZ, TX, CA. We had so many young couple that got together and it was a blast! You're very lucky to be able to spend your time there with good friends and LDS standards!
