Fall Activities

Conference weekend was pretty uneventful for us. Bob had to work on Saturday, but Ezra was really good and I got to enjoy conference. He wasn't quite as good the next day, but Dad is more fun than Mommy, and we had events like this happen.

He dumped out most of a box of Cheerios, and this is him attempting to clean it up.

 I had on warm fuzzy sock and Ezra wanted some too.

 I though my knee high Christmas ones had the best chance of staying on. He loved them.

Sunday was freezing. We bundled up to keep warm, and Ezra had to wear his big

 coat because it was the only warm thing that would fit over his cast.

We bought him some slippers the next day.

The next weekend we went to the Cranberry Harvest Festival. We went with a bunch of friends from the ward, and it was a lot of fun. We got there a bit late, so we didn't get to do a lot of the kids activities, but we enjoyed it.

 Ezra did not want to take this picture.

He wanted to sit on the shore and throw rocks in the water.

 This year he was old enough to play on the giant sand pile, but he wasn't that crazy about it.

 These are the kids we went with. Luckily Ezra doesn't mind being the only boy.

 Sadie was there too, but she was too little to enjoy the mini bog.

After the Cranberry Festival we headed to a Zoo in R.I. for a Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular. We got there before it opened, and still had to wait in line forever. It was worth it though. They had somewhere between 5,000-10,000 pumpkins all professionally carved. It was cool.

This picture is after we have been waiting in line for a while. 

It is not so bad when you are with friends.

Some of the professionally carved pumpkins. It was hard to get good pictures, but hopefully you can tell what some of them are. The theme was something to do with time, so besides some classics, they had things from the time of the dinosaurs to major historical events.

I believe this one is of the revolutionary war.

This one if for you Dad.

That is a super huge pumpkin with other pumpkins in it's mouth.

It looks like they strung lights up the tree, but those are all pumpkins.

The thing I found most interesting were that most of them (all the non pumpkin face ones) were actually not cut all the way through. They just thin out the pumpkin enough for the light to shine through. It was cool.
