Howells Pumpkin Patch

We spent the afternoon at Howell's Pumpkin Patch.  It was a perfect fall day, the sun was out but it was chilly.  The mums were so beautiful!

The slide was a little tender on the bum.

Playing on the bales of hay.

A little help from Dad on the tree!

The giant tire swing.

Feeding the goats while we waited for the tractor and wagon to take us out to the pumpkin patch and corn maze.

Car races on pedal cars.

Daddy had to help Lauren because she couldn't quite reach the pedals.

SURPRISE!!! We are going to Disney World!

New Autograph Books for our Disney World Trip!

I finally got this project done before we leave for Disney World in 5 days!!  These were super easy and much cuter than the ones that are available to buy... not to mention cheaper.  My sister-in-law Lisa sent me the idea from a blog (you can see this on my blog under crafty).  I am going to add this to the goody bag I made for the girls so when they come home from school next Wednesday they will have a bag full of goodies/activities for the plane and then they will hopefully figure out that we are going to Disney World.  It has been really hard to keep this trip a secret but I know it will be worth it when we see the expression on their faces!

Photos at the Iowa State Fair Grounds! October 9th, 2011

My friend's son-in-law met us at the Iowa State Fairgrounds last Sunday afternoon for a mini-photo shoot.  It was the PERFECT fall day.  It was warm and sunny with a little breeze that made the leaves rustle a bit.  The leaves are starting to turn and it was just right.  The girls had fun playing and exploring and even smiled on cue most of the time.

I love this photo of the girls.  It shows how beautiful their smiles are and what fun they have together.  I can hear them laughing when I see this picture.

A little entertainment at the Hubbard home!
