"This is Halloween....

Everyone hail to the pumpkin king"*

Today took us to the lovely Bates Nut Farm with the hopes of continuing a family tradition started by AJ's parents years ago. I'm so glad that this place didn't suffer any damage (at least not the we could see) from the recent fires, although it was very sad on the drive up to see just how much damage there was. We drove past numerous places that still had a ton of tents up for the firefighters and rescue workers that are still working on putting the fires out, not to mention actually seeing homes from the freeway that had been burned completely to the ground.

My parents were down for the day, since they were originally coming down for the BYU vs. SDSU football game. Even though it was postponed, they made the trip anyway, so they could drop off Keegan's costume and just spend some time with us. It was so much fun...tiring, in a way, but really, really fun. I can't wait to carve the pumpkins that we bought. Halloween is quickly becoming a favorite holiday of mine! :)

Keegan enjoyed the straw more than the pumpkins, and wanted to share it with everyone...

and he definitely didn't like the goats (even the really timid one)....

but I think he had a pretty good time, as did his mom and dad (even though I was dealing with a broken baby toe...but more on that another time) and he even managed to sleep the whole way up, and the whole way back. YIPPEEE!!!

Happy Halloween!
