Halloween Fun

We went to a corn maze on Saturday for a little Halloween festivities.  It was a beautiful day, and the location didn't feel like Florida at all--felt more like Ohio than anything...although it was close to 80, so that's probably not Ohio-esque for late October.  Bode liked the little dune buggies, although he would have liked them more if they were not peddle-powered.

We then headed over to the corn maze, but stopped for some goofy pictures.

We entered the corn maze with hopes that Jack Torrence was not in hot pursuit.  Bode immediately attacked me with a corn stalk.

Ashley then attacked Bode with an ear of corn.

We found all five landmarks within the maze.  There were a lot of "cheat trails" in the maze, as it has been up for over a month.  Still, we enjoyed ourselves and had fun.  We then headed over to the pony ride, which was neat...if Bode was 5 instead of 10.   Bode liked it but I think he would have preferred to have actually ridden the pony vice walk around in a circle.

Last night, our neighbor's church had a trunk-or-treat activity.  This was just an excuse for Bode to give his costume a test-run.  Ashley really got creative and made a pretty cool Slenderman outfit for the boy.  In case you don't know, below is a picture of Slenderman.

Here's Bode all dressed up.  He received a lot of good comments from other people.

The neighbor boys (Alex and Jacob) had a Star Wars theme going.

Towards the end, Bode needed to be able to see better so he took off the hood.  He's looking like a young man more and more each day.

Some sad news:  We think Joey might have torn his ACL on his back-right leg.  He's not putting any weight on the leg, but isn't in any real pain.  Auburn (rottweiler #1) had a similar injury and she exhibited the same symptoms.  We'll get him to the doc and likely schedule some surgery.  Poor little guy--but he does seem to be his normal happy self albeit a little less mobile.

Pleasant week to all.
