Pre-School Halloween Carnival

The kids got to get dressed up a few days early for this carnival. Well, Lily didn't want to wear her costume, so I didn't want to fight it.

There were crafts, lots of games and even a little bit of trick-or-treating from parent to parent at the end. It was hot, but we had a lot of fun, and I got some cute pics!

Pre-school Field Trip

On a beautiful Arizona fall day (95 degrees) we were able to visit a local farm with his pre-school. We didn't let the heat get us down and we explored many of the sights and rides around the farm. First stop, a historic (old) carousel. It is so old that the guy running the ride presses "play" on a cd player that played the carousel music! So funny, but Andrew couldn't get enough of it...

So he rode it again on this strange looking red-striped horse. (The guy didn't press play this time, we were the only ones riding.)

I was able to get him away from the carousel with the promise that we could come back and we found this great tennis ball launching game. There were big targets that you tried to hit. He did this MANY times too. :)

LOVE the face here!

Then it was over to the airplanes and some cute photo ops!

Then, of course it was back to the carousel. He had to ride the bunny...

And the chicken.


So we had a great time together. We saw a little show with a dog that did tricks, we played on the play ground and rode a train. At the very end of the day he got to pick out a pumpkin to take home. Very fun!


We were hot and dusty but we'd do it again in a heartbeat.
