Who needs a television when there are small children in costumes running around?

Idaho trip
We were planning to take this trip earlier in the month, but were foiled by jury duty for Mark's mom and swine flu for some of the cousins. But it was fun to be there for Halloween week. Nora thinks we should visit every year at this time.
One of Grandma's cats had three kittens!
There was trick-or-treating at the library.
We went to Boo at the Zoo and saw some zebras, tigers, lions, camels, red pandas, wallabies, emus, lemurs, bears, penguins and other animals while collecting candy and playing games. It was fun, but cold.
We carved pumpkins that Grandma and Aunt Becky had grown. 
And after the kids were done the adults did some serious carving.
Helena enjoyed riding Daddy's horse.
And on Saturday there was a carnival at the church. Nora did a lot of bouncing in the bounce house. Helena really wanted to try, but she was too small to send in with all the big kids.

Field trip : Pumpkin patch
First we played on the collection of big and unusual pumpkins they have.
Then there was a hayride out to the pumpkins.
Everyone picked out a pumpkin.
There was a straw bale pyramid to climb. 
And a straw bale maze to find the way through.And animals to meet.
And a cookie and some juice.
All with friends. A fun time.

October
Last Saturday Mark celebrated the beginning of the new fiscal year by staying home from work. We went to the Farmers' Market together.
Henry checking out the offerings. It makes me happy that he likes to wear hats. 
Then the kids and I went to watch some marching bands. It was a brisk fall morning. 
We saw the band I marched with when I was in high school. They have better uniforms now.

Helena eats her hummus
by sticking her finger in it
and then licking her finger.
She loves it and calls it "hummie."
