Night Eyes at the ZOO!

Well we had our first experience with Night Eyes, why its called that Im not really sure because they pretty much had all the animals put inside. So pretty much we just walked around and trick or treated, which was fine because Elle Rae cant eat the candy anyways so Tyler and I got to have it all:) We had a good time though and got to spend time with some good friends. We are kind of at the stage where its getting fun to do things like this with Elle Rae but I know it will get even better as she gets older and is able to do more activities. But for now she was just the cutest Lady Bug in the park! Another con I discovered about living somewhere cold though, since I grew up in Georgia and didnt have this problem, is that all the moms worked so hard on all of the costumes but just had to cover them up with lame coats:( Needless to say another reason we will for sure be settling somewhere warm when school is done! But i did manage to get a picture really fast of Nellena Rae's costume, im in love with it:)

As you can tell for me when I was deciding which boots to wear i thought to myself hmm The Zoo?....Duh! Zebra boots hahaha

And sorry about these pictures I dont know what happened with them I think my lense must have been foggy but it was dark so I couldnt tell....oh well they are still cute!

As you can tell though, sadly, Elle Rae wasnt loving it so much. It was getting close to bed time so we put her in the little play thing they had there to make her happy....you can see how well that worked.

So that was our Night Eyes adventure.

But the next day we went to the Pumpkin Patch and that experience was much better! For starters we got free Chick-fil-a coupons which hello is enough to make my week! It was out in a little town called Winterset about 45 minutes from our house and the drive was beautiful. So pretty to see all the green grass and fall colors and it was a much warmer day so that was a major plus. But then of coarse leave it to married life mis-communication to make the day interesting. So we were unloading the car when we got there which when you have a baby, that is quite the task, they come with a lot of baggage. So I went to get Elle Rae out of the back and I set the keys on the back seat, then Tyler locked the car the closed the door. Bam that was that, locked out! So after being frustrated for a few minutes and Tyler saying that he asked me if i had the keys and that I said yes, which who knows I probably did say that but moms are crazy and Im sure I didnt even know what he was talking about. So we didnt know what we were going to do about that yet but I decided we would just figure it out and we were not going to let it ruin our day. So what did we do? Have some fun at the Pumpkin Patch!

We rounded up a bunch of pumpkins for Elle Rae to play with and pushed her around in the wheel barrel. She was definitely a fan:) 

Then we just played around in them....

Check out that pose on, she cracks me up I love that little girl:)

 

Then we rode the Hay ride back over to get lost in the Corn Maze!

Tyler decided though since we were probably going to be done soon we should probably figure out what we were going to do about our car....so while he went and took care of that Elle Rae and I went with our friends and got lost in the corn maze:) And leave it up to grad students following a map, to really get us lost, but it was fun. Tyler came and found us and he saved the day, twice actually, he showed us how to get out of the maze and he got the sheriff to come open our car YAY! So see the day wasnt ruined, I knew it would work out. We were just lucky to be in such a small town that the sheriff really didnt have anything else to do. When he got there Tyler was apologizing for wasting his time and he literally said "don't worry about it I had nothing to do!" Hahaha. So even though we were a little stressed about the car we had a great time!

And Nellena Rae even got to ride in a wagon, wheel barrel and a wagon in the same day she has fun parents;)

Then after the hard work of playing this was the result.....

We had a great day!
