Happy birthday Poppop

We miss you and hope you are having a wonderful day. Happy birthday.

My birthday

For my birthday we decided to go to a local farm in Bellbrook where they do a corn maze each year. My kids love to walk through them and my parents have never been to one. It was a huge maze that had four different mazes ranging for one mile to seven miles. The kids got to pick the mazes that we did and Judd led the way. The first maze we did we wouldn't have found our way out without the map. The second maze we let the kids lead since it was smaller. Then we went on the cow ride where they load you up in these barrels and you get pulled around the farm by a tractor. It was lots of fun. By the end of the day we were all tired and ready to leave. We will definitly go back again.

Halloween

This is our first Halloween in Ohio and it has been pretty. The leave are amazing. The kids love to go outside every day and jump in the piles. Our neighborhood had a Halloween party where we all went over to one of there houses and had soups and let the kids play in the back yard. They had a great time. Unfortunately Judd couldn't be there he was busy trying to get water up to my new fridge, the kit we bought didn't work and he had to go back to home depot twice to get all the right parts. It ended up taking 7 hours but at least it is done and he finished in time to take the kids trick or treating. Here in Bellbrook they designate 6 to 8 pm for trick or treating. I was told that our neighborhood was the place to be so I loaded up on candy and took my place on the front porch. I met a lot of the neighbors but we barely had any kids now I don't know what to do with all the candy. The kids went out for an hour but got tried so Judd brought them back where they sat on the couch and listened to Halloween music and didn't move the rest of the night. Chase on the other hand decided that handing out candy wasn't enough fun, so while I was passing out candy he made his escape up the street. Lucky he didn't make it far when a group of trick or treaters stopped him. All in all it was a successful night. At the end of the evening a fire truck pulled up and all of the kids ran over and got candy from the driver. It is great to live in a small town.
