Fall in Indiana

Happy Fall/Halloween everyone! We took a trip to a pumpkin patch way out in the middle of nowhere. They had a petting zoo, corn maze, soybean maze for kids, farm-type foods, a 2 story slide, lots of old non-functional tractors, a hayride, and lots more. We've also enjoyed the colored leaves - southern indiana has lots of nice maples and oaks, and tons of forests. We did have quite a drought here this summer, so the grass was brown, but that didn't affect the leaves.

Adam is recovering from a 2-week stint with some kind of virus, and is just starting to eat more normally again. Lauren was really worried for a while, but Adam was always very chipper, even right after puking or having some nasty diarrhea. Our biggest worry was that he wasn't eating or drinking very well at all, but we bought popsicles and pedialyte (which he didn't like - even when we made it into jello).

Tonight our ward had a chili cook-off & trunk-or-treat. Some of the kids costumes were hysterical. Some friends of ours had their kids dressed as wendy & peter pan, and the parents were dressed as a deviled egg (she's pregnant) and Mr. T (head shaved just like Mr. T). We didn't dress up, but Adam wore a dragon costume the Walkers gave us. Someone asked me if I was dressed as Steve Jobs for halloween because I was wearing sneakers, light jeans, and black long sleeve shirt. I told the person I'd need a turtleneck.

Enjoy the pictures!
