Pumpkin Festival Fun

 Saturday morning we loaded up the car and headed to the Zi.onsville Pumpkin Fe.stival. We had heard it was well worth the trip (and the $8/person admission!) and it surely did not disappoint. I mean, anyplace that serves fresh cinnamon donuts is tops in my book.
 We explored the many bins of pumpkins and gourds...
 Took a hayride around the acres...
 Went down the super fast slides...
 Took a ride on the "Moo Choo"...
 Went back for seconds on the slide...
 Took a few laps on a pony...
 Posed in super funky, festive mural...
 Hopped along a large row of some seriously large pumpkins...
 Took a long walk through the (pumpkin-shaped) corn maze (take note Laney's enjoyment!)...
 Posed for a Prom picture with a buddy...
 And another buddy...
 We spent about 3 hours at the festival and enjoyed a beautiful day. Laney took a 4 hour nap while Izzy headed out to her first "drop off" birthday party. Big time. She came home with a professional face painting that was just beautiful:
 Thursday night the girls' school hosted a Halloween party. Laney dressed as Minne Mouse (I donned the ears). And this picture shows how tired she was...which is always a fun time.
 Here are a few of Izzy's buddies at school. Iz dressed as Snow White...and it looked too cute on her! After all, she is a princess.
We're gearing up for a big Halloween weekend: adult party for the Bigs and trick-or-treating for the Littles. Candy has been bought. Much has already been eaten. And I'm proud to say I've only gone through one bag of candy corn this month. So what if it was the value size? It was still just one bag. Bring on the buckets filled with candy!
