The pumpkin patch. I really wanted to take Henry this year. I felt like he may be a little small for it, but wanted to start the tradition. But our weekends have been so full in October that we really hadn't had a chance to go until this Saturday. And this Saturday was honestly packed too. We had the birthday party and the parade, but I wanted to squeeze in the pumpkin patch as well, so we did. And it was so worth it. So so worth it. Henry loved every second of it. Here are a few pictures.
Henry in the pumpkins. One of my favorite pictures of him ever.
Taking a ride around the pumpkin patch
Henry and his Papa
My sweet pumpkin
The giant Boyd's Chair is much harder to get into that it looks. And I am annoyed that after all that work I sat where my head blocked the year and that Henry looks rather miserable. *fail*
He looks much happier here! Henry and Mama in the barn
And even happier here, where Mama finally leave him alone to play in peace. We all three had so much fun. We will come back to Boyd's Orchard every year!
After the orchard we went to Wes' birthday party (pictured later) and then we were off to Thriller downtown. Last year it was rather disorganized, but this year it was amazing! Except for them starting extremely late, but besides that it was perfect! They had zombies and the thriller dance, but they also had floats, dancers, a marching band and color guard all in the parade as well. Everyone was dressed up and it was so much fun. Here are a few pictures of the Halloween Parade!
This is a terrible picture of me, but so sweet of Henry that I am posting it anyway. Henry got to be Shrek for the parade and everyone loved him!
Henry loves his Papa!
We met up with Nick's Dad and step mom and Aunt Candice too!
Boo and Cici (the tiny pink hat) came too! Along with Missy and George, who I somehow didn't get a picture of :(
Here is Michael starting the parade
A few zombies. The red eye my camera picked up really adds to the effect, don't you think?
More zombies. The costumes were amazing!
Part of the parade. The clowns driving were terrifying. They kept looking at you with the slow head turn. *shudder*
And finally one of the marching band
The entire evening was so wonderful. When we were waiting for it to start I wasn't sure it would be worth it, but turns out it was! I can't wait to go back next year!
Oh Henry is just so adorable!! Looks like you had a fab weekend.
ReplyDeleteWe had quite a few trick treaters, which was nice, and Tim loved putting on his scary mask and scaring the parents (most the kids didn't notice haha) and then our neighbour opened her door with a scary clown mask and jumped them (our doors face each other down a little passage so she could jump right out behind them!) Oh it was fun! We didn't have a parade though, so I am very jealous :o(
Loved Henry in that picture with all of you. The look on his face is adorable!
ReplyDeleteGlad you guys had fun at the pumpkin patch, we wanted to go this year, but the only day we could it poured rain, so the trip got canceled until next year...bummer!
What a cutie. Sounds like you had a fantastic halloween. Though maybe a bit too scary for my liking. I prefer to stay away from the clowns and the zombies.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome costume! Love all the pictures, as usual--always make me smile :)
ReplyDeletePumpkin Patches rock! We went to one this year and will be going from now on too. I totally hear you there. They will get even better next year when our kids are another year old (sob).
ReplyDeleteHow many costumes did Henry have? lol
And yes, the red eye definitely adds to the zombie effect. CREEPY!
You would never know that, that little boy was sick. what a sweet smile. I love my sweet Darcy's pink head.
