My Favorite Trick-or-Treaters
We've had a great Fall exploring some new and old fall favorites. We went to Sever's Corn Maze in Shakopee in the beginning of October. Jackson had a blast running through the mini maze and jumping in the corn pool. It is literally a big pool filled with corn! It was a little weird for me, but so much fun for the kids! We also took some time and visited our favorite apple orchard, the Afton Apple Orchard by Hastings. Unfortunately, they were hit with hail early in the year, so they didn't have very many apples to buy. NO HONEY CRISPS - what a shame!! But, we still had fun climbing on the hay bales, feeding the animals, and take a hay ride into the orchard/pumpkin patch.
Tonight, we took the kids trick-or-treating for the first time. We've taken Jackson out before, but he had no idea what was going on. Last year, he had the swine flu so he was stuck home. This year, Jackson was Batman and boy was he ready to take on the neighborhood. Jayda was a cute little flower, but she didn't make it too far (just across the street to Bonnie's.) It was a little too cold out for her and I think Bonnie really wanted to keep her. : ) I hope that you had a fun Fall, as well. Take care and bundle up, I have a feeling we are in for a COLD Minnesota Winter! Brrrr!
