Fall Fun in Mountain Home

We drove over to Mtn. Home on Saturday. Chris had to do his drill early because he couldn't miss work on drill weekend. Anyways, we got to Mtn. Home on Saturday evening and stayed until Wednesday afternoon.
We got in just in time for the "Trunk or Treat " at Cooper Park Saturday night.
We got our little pirates dressed and headed out to the Halloween festival.
 
We rode the train. Tanner thought he was so big, riding in his own car.
Then we got in line for the hayride. How cute are these boys?

Family pic on the hayride. We are so glad Nanny and Papa came with us to the festival.
After the hayride, we warmed up by the fire while we roasted marshmallows.
When we got home, the kids warmed up in Nanny and Papa's big tub.
On Sunday we went to church and visited with friends. That night we had a big family dinner and then we carved pumpkins. It was pretty funny- 4 kids ages 4 and under- its always interesting.
My kids loved it. Bailey especially loved digging in. Here she is, up to her elbows, getting pumpkin goop.

Bailey decided she need to try some the pumpkin meat.

 On Monday we stayed in and played at Nanny and Papa's. They had yoga Monday night so our big fun things was a bubble bath in Nanny's big tub.
The kids LOVED this!
Their little faces were covered in bubbles and they were so happy

Tuesday we met some friends for lunch at pizza hut. The kids had so much fun seeing their little friend Orion. Here they are playing in the arcade after lunch.
Then Tuesday night we had a popcorn ball/movie night.
We used my Grandpa Bill's popcorn ball recipe.
The kids loved making their own balls and they ate a lot of them.

Here they are snuggling Papa and sharing their popcorn balls.

On Wednesday, the kids and I went to story time at the library. Chris finished his drill early. We grabbed some lunch, said our goodbyes and headed home while we drove during nap time.
It was a great, busy visit. I think we wore my parents out but it was very fun.
