October Festivities!

So this last week was the Buck Family Annual Halloween Party! We decided to do it a little different this year. It is SO hard to coordinate schedules so we decided to do it early this year, we also decided to do it without our husbands! They are such good sports and always come, but they don't really enjoy it, so we decided to spare them and make it an all day event!

We started off going to Barnyard Boo at Thanksgiving Point! The kids had a ball!
Here is Jaden and Libby..This is how Jaden felt about pictures that day....


Jaden was SO excited about the horses, we live with them all around us but actually getting to ride one made his day! He only wanted to ride the "baby" ones though and held my finger the entire time, so when I let go to take a picture...there was no way I was going to get a smile!

Jaden is ALL BOY and other than pirates, right now he is VERY into monsters, so he was VERY excited to win his prize!

He refused to get his face painted but let me put a "witch" tattoo on his cheek!


Playing a game


After Barnyard Boo we headed to Rachels to meet my parents and have some soup and then we headed to the pumpkin patch for the kids to get their pumpkins! Amy was a trooper and hauled all the kids in a wheel barrel!
After the pumpkin patch we headed back to Rachels and painted the pumpkins and decorated sugar cookies. By the end of the night the kids were exhausted! They had such a great time and it was so great to spend time with family, not living close sure makes you appreciate it more!


When Jaden and I head to Ogden for my dr apts, I try to make a fun day of it, well I have heard so much about the Treehouse Museum, we decided to go after my last apt, and I'm so glad we did! What a fun place!!! I ended up getting a pass so that we can go back a lot this winter! There is room for Jaden to run around and they have so many things that he loves there!

Here he is driving the fire truck

Milking a cow...

Riding a bull (we spent most of our time here!)
We had so much fun playing, I didn't get a chance to take as many pictures as I would have liked!
It really is such a great place, so if you haven't gone, you should! Call us and we will even come meet you!

What a fun halloween party! What a good idea to leave the hubbys out. Tim would think that was a great idea! :)

I literally just finished reading my other friend's blog and she talked about taking her boy to the tree house museum too! It must be a swingin place! :)We'll have to make a trip up there sometime.
