Halloween Festivities

I have some serious catch-up to do!  First on the list: Halloween.

We saw noticeable improvement from 2013 on the pumpkin front.  Caitlin really wanted to paint hers this year, so we found a "chalkboard paint kit" at Target.  She was happy as a really happy clam!

We found an actual pumpkin carving saw at Target too--best investment ever.

They turned out well!  Caitlin's would have lasted till Thanksgiving, but some neighbors must have stolen it (while we were home, no less).  A day that will live in infamy.

Halloween night, we decided to go to the Cornbelly's Maze in Lehi.  It was an excellent decision!

My first corn maze.

Trying to scout out our escape from a bridge we found in the maze.

Finished!

Caitlin found a really big cow.

We also did a significantly smaller and infinitely more frustrating maze while we were there.

(Caitlin finished in half the time it took me--that is likely where the 'frustration' began to come into play.)

Giant, rubber, inflatable bounce pad...exhausting!

There were tons of things to do there!  Unfortunately, I have no pictures to share of the pig races (those little guys were just too speedy for amateur photography), but I did capture an excellent series of events below in the tube races:

She made it about 3 feet on that attempt...

And to cap it all off, what is Halloween without a firework show synchronized to awful re-mix country music?
