Happy Halloween...

Last week we went back to the Children's Museum and visited Spooky Hollow. It was really fun, it started out with a guy telling a fun little story of spooky hollow, you joined in by clapping and stomping and such along with the story. Then we entered Spooky Hollow where we experienced all the things from the story. This is the spider web we couldn't crawl over, go around, go under, so we had to go through kind of thing... it was really cute, love the museum.

Then we went with a few MHA buddies to the ZOOBOO. (I told you we would go...). The kiddos were sick and didn't get out of the stroller, they just pathetically raised their buckets as we went through the treat stations. It was actually somewhat nice because we weren't chasing them.

Oh my sweet babies, all ready to go trick or treating (This was Friday, a friend organized a bunch of families so we could go around the neighborhood.)
Walking home with heavy bags of loot... Tanner is a shark and Kate is a cupcake if you can't tell.Last night we went to the ward Trunk or Treat, sorry no pictures, they looked the same. And tonight, Tanner was very excited to hand out candy to the trick or treaters. He had the door open before they even knocked. It was fun, then he ate watermelon with Cory in his "All my friends are monsters shirt", this is what it says and also what he calls it.

I hope that you had a great Halloween and that you all have belly aches from the excess of candy hanging around your house. And a quick Happy Birthday to Randah and Emily, hooray for halloween babies!

The End.

The Childrens Museum

The kids and I went to the Minnesota Childrens Museum the other day with a few friends. It was really fun, I think we will become regulars. These are huge fish hanging from the ceiling like a huge mobile. They spin and stuff.

There was a little town to play in, they loved the grocery store, post office, and restaurant the most.But they also loved this place, they are on the TV screen if you can see them. They were rocking out to She'll Be Comin' Round the Mountain.
We spent a while in the Water Works room. They had a big table of bubble soap and tables to play with water, and float ping pong balls through tubes.

Tanner loved the boat racing table. There are flood gates at the top and after the water builds up, you open the gates and race your boat.

This was a big area that had lots of nature scenes for the kids to run around and play. Best of all, it had a gate so they couldn't escape!
Kate loves phones, so imagine her excitement when it was nearly her size!
Tanner and I went to the creative lab and painted leaves.
The leaves hanging up at home...This is a cute little candy shop a few doors down, we stopped for popcorn.
We had a lot of fun, and we will definitely be back (especially during the winter months).

the kiddos

Kate's favorite hat... sorry guys.

Who doesn't love freshly whipped cream? We had crepes for conference breakfast, and this was Kate's favorite part. Yummmm.
This is Tanner picking strawberries in grandma's garden... obviously not a very recent picture, since we haven't been in Idaho for many weeks now.

Tanner and Isaac (son of Cory's cousin Rachel) running through grandma's garden... we missed the corn by a week... really? come on!

How do you sleep? Comfy, no?

Random, I know, but thanks for stopping by!

Coolest place ever...

So we live in a cool place. Yeah, we have no dishwasher, no washer, no dryer, no A/C... whatever, this place is all about entertaining us... you remember this waterslide that came with pizza...

Well, then we had a Pow-Wow that came with corn... and lessons in dancing and such...

Then, we took a school bus to an apple orchard (different place... all about the apples... still fun!) The kids loved riding the school bus and not having seatbelts. I love the massive amount of apples we came home with... yummy! Tanner and I climbed trees to pick apples. His limb was about 2 feet off the ground, he thought it was awesome that he was in a tree.

Then tonight, we attended the Diwali festival to celebrate Fall. They had indian food catered and cake and glow sticks for the kids. They also had dancers and they taught people a few Bali dance moves. The kids had fun dancing and the chowed down on cake when we got home!

I am telling you... we live in a sweet place!

The Zoo...

Yeah, I know... I said I would post about it a while ago. Oh well, better late than never! Alisha and I went to the ward play group at the zoo. The zoo is awesome and free. We were late, so we never found the group. But all the same I like Alisha, and Tanner, Kate, and Grace like eachother too, so it was really fun. This is (most of) the Conservatory... oh my pretty...

They had a baby giraffe, so cute...


and a baby orangutan...

We thought Cory and Sam should grow mustaches like this guy...And the gorillas were HUGE...Tanner loved the seals, they do a little show with them...And the fish swimming in the polar bear pond...

This tiger was pacing almost as much as Cory does...Jump Kate...

Me and my babies in front of the pretty flowers... doesn't Tanner look genuinely happy?

It was really fun, we plan to go again for the Halloween ZooBoo trick or treating. Hope you are all having a nice day!

Emma Krumbee's

So I had chosen this apple orchard for the name originally (my momma is Emma as well), but then a friend also recommended it, so Sam and Alisha decided we should all go, and boy am I glad we did. It was really fun. The orchard wasn't very big, but they had a scarecrow festival that made it worth the drive, although we almost turned off early to check out the Renaissance Festival. This was Tanner's favorite scarecrows... too bad he wasn't this happy when he met the real Buzz Lightyear. His favorite part of the entire day was spent on this thing...
Kate took the tractor out for a spin while Tanner was hot rodding on the mega trike...
Just waiting for the train, we rode it twice...
Don't you just want to take one home?

Really, Kate was scared of the goats...

The had some really cool playground toys, there was this tractor, a train, and a huge boat. Awe-some!

A little family pic on the wagon ride to the orchard and pumpkin patch...

We had fun, thanks to Sam and Alisha for hanging out with us for the day!
