We went to The Great Pumpkin Festival last night for Family Home Evening. We went with the Summerhays, this great family in our ward that we love hanging out with. We watched It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown outdoors and ate donuts and drank hot apple cider that they press right there on the farm. Yum! After the movie, we decided to go on a hayride. After we took our seats on our straw bales (it was actually straw and not hay, so technically we were going on a strawride), the tractor driver told us his name and proceeded to inform us of the hayride safety rules. After a moment or so, Nathan recognized the driver as his first district leader from his mission in Detroit! The driver also remembered Nathan and the two of them had a fun time catching up after the hayride. How cool is that? We've been passing by this farm and buying cider and produce for months, and it turns out that Nathan knows the owners! It was a fun fall event (not to mention the fact that the farm is 2 miles from our house) so we'll be sure to make it an October tradition.
After we left the farm, all of us came back to our house to decorate sugar cookies. The kids (and the adults too) got really into it, and soon we had all the cookies looking "Halloweeny". It turned out to be a great FHE!
When Max saw the stacks of cookies on the table, all he wanted was a glass of milk!

I need to get better at planning better home evenings, it looked like you had a blast!
I love the post!! We had such a great time. Max asked today out of the blue if Henry's mom was going to dress up like Luigi for Halloween....the pressure is on. You can't let down little Max:) I thought it was so cute that he was thinking about your Luigi costume that I had told him about.
