Halloween

My Halloween celebrations started a few weeks ago with a trip to the pumpkin patch with Lilli and our church's Mommy & Me group (yes, they understand Lilli isn't actually my child!).  We got there early and she kept saying "Wanna go pumpkin patch."  And every day after when we talked about Halloween it was all about "pumpkin patch"
waiting for our friends
a little boy we went with did this and then Lilli wanted a turn, which was fine except she doesn't like getting her picture taken anymore.  She is WAY more interested in seeing the picture after it has been taken
No pictures of the actual pumpkin patch, because the terrain was so bumpy for Lilli's little legs, but it still wore her out
Lilli didn't want to get a pumpkin because they were so dirty, so I just chose one for her and promised her we'd give it a bath when we got home...

Then Marcel and I redeemed our LivingSocial voucher and visited Linder Farms.  Before we went to the farm, we went to our favorite place to eat in Oregon, that finally came to Idaho: Chipotle!!  It was very bit as delicious as I remember it but I'm very grateful that it is in Boise so it isn't so easy for us to go there :)  I think going to Linder Farms will be our October tradition as long as we're in Idaho.  We had a great time getting lost in the maze but still finding all the checkpoints.  We also visited the petting zoo. 
Trying to replicate the photo from last year...
but I like the ghostly lightig of this one better :)

Baby zebra
and the highlight of the visit: the baby kangaroo.

However, Marcel has always asked, mostly serious, if he could have a kangaroo.  Naturally, he asked the trainer all sorts of questions and learned we'd only have to travel to right outside of Las Vegas to get one and that if they are raised around people, they are actually very people friendly.  Now Marcel is convinced there is no reason for us not to have one :)

We also carved pumpkins but we took pictures with my new camera and I have yet to download the software I need to put the pictures onto the computer.
