We went to North Carolina this past weekend to visit Phillip and his family. They took us to a cute little farm where there were fun fall things to do! Maddy got to pick out a pumpkin and decorate it. ( Sarah was glad because she got to play with it) We got a cute little Candy Corn necklace and bracelet for Maddy to wear. They matched the Candy Corn on her face!!

They had stickers and markers for the kids to decorate their pumpkin with. Maddy took this job very seriously, and carefully picked out which stickers would be best. She was so cute. They had a corn maze for little kids too. It was great because the kids could run around and feel independant while the parents could see where they were at all times! Maddy ran through it and fell.... then she cried and cried ( so I took a picture) It was the last thing she did so I think she had just had enough! She was ready to go...

Sarah isn't in too many pictures! She was just watching everyone and having a good time doing it!! She loved sitting in the grass and tried so hard to pick up the grass and eat it! That's what made it so hard to get a good picture.. she wouldn't look up!

HOORAY for HAY RIDES! Well, I think everyone had fun except Maddy. She was absolutely HORRIFIED. They had some Halloween decorations that shake or move up and down (ghosts, spiders etc.) when someone claps. I've never known them to scare anyone... until Maddy. She was shrieking and shaking- out of absolute terror. I had to give her to Uncle Phillip because the scary...what ever it was-happened to be behind me. She held on to him so tight! Then luckily they had a tall, not so scary Big Bird from Sesame Street hiding behind a tree so that distracted her. Phillip started showing her pictures on his phone too. That helped!

Poor Sarah didn't like the dirt! Or maybe she didn't like whatever Maddy was doing to her head, either way she is not happy in this picture!

Maddy playing bean bag toss with Uncle Phillip. She really didn't get the concept of throwing the bean bags into the holes... or she didn't want to! All she wanted to do was collect all the bean bags and hold them!

There was a barn scene set up so the kids could play or take pictures... it was really cute! There were horses and pigs a lamb and some chickens. Maddy sat on all of them, whether she was supposed to or not!

Maddy and Addison loved looking at the animals - there were goats and pigs and bunnies, they even had a donkey you could ride! After the horror of the hay ride Maddy decided that the donkey was not for her. The only thing she is going to ride is in her car seat in the car or maybe the stroller!

Maddy and Addison had great time running in and out of these tunnels! There were lots of little activities to keep the kids occupied. I'm surprised Maddy wasn't scared of the tunnels... they were kind of creepy looking!

Maddy wanted to get her face painted. Of all the selections she wanted a Frankenstien on her face... She doesn't even know who that is! I talked up the Candy Corn instead and she decided to go with that. She was so good while her face was being painted, and so proud of it when she was done!
