Many families have different traditions that occur in their families. Some that happen around our house around Halloween time are as follows. Fisrt there is the painting of the pumpkins.
Most people carve pumpkins, but I like to decorate them and still be able to cook them up and use them for yummy pumpkin food later on in the year. So we paint them.
We also have made a tradition of going to a pumpkin patch/farm each year. Once again we went to Back Home on the Farm. And we were lucky that it was not too busy when we got there. The kids got to ride on the slides many times.
We did the sling shot to see how far the balls could go up the hill.
I got a few great pictures of the kids as they were playing on the train and walking through the flower maze.
The merry go round is always a favorite.
And you can see the difference between my kids personalities in these two pictures. Glen is a bit more reserved and careful, Grace is quite carefree and reckless. But they are both great qualities.
As this picture shows, LOVE. I love these days of tradition. I love these people.
