Last weekend we took Owen up to Dutch Wonderland for their Happy Haunting event. Cearra hated amusement park rides as a child, even at Disney we couldn't coax her onto anything; now Bob and I get such a chuckle out of the difference in our kiddos -Owen LOVES anything that spins, dips, whirls or takes him high in the air!
The merry-go-round, giant slide, construction vehicles, monster trucks and touring cars were all fine (Bob looks like he's having fun too!),
but the ones Owen really liked, prompting "let's do it again!!" even before the ride had shuddered to a stop, were the roller coaster and the frog bounce.
Owen, hands up, in red jacket four rows back from front.
Oh how my pop-pop Ed would have loved taking this kid on roller coasters.
This weekend we made the short trip up the road to Baugher's to pick up some pumpkins. On Owen's insistence, we also bounced along behind a vintage John Deere for a hay ride; it's really beautiful to see how much open space and fields there are such a short distance from our house. Unfortunately I didn't bring the camera, so we'll have to pick up once we were home, in Pj's, carving our creations.
It's the great (big) pumpkin Charlie Brown!
Playing in the guts is always entertaining.
Owen wanted a green pumpkin. Any guesses as to why?
Yep, you all know him well. I'm fairly pleased with my attempt to free-hand carve a John Deere.
Happy Halloween!

WOW!!!! Looks like a lot of fun was had by you guys. Thanks for sharing the pictures. The John Deere pumpkin is wonderful, JO. YOu did a bang-up job. It looks professional. There you go - you can do seasonal work when O goes to school all day and be a pumpkin carver. Love to all, MOM
