Trip to the Pumpkin Patch and Halloween!!!!!!!

The Alexander Family has continued to be super busy this October! We were so excited to take Mia to the pumpkin patch for the first time. We went to Bishop's Pumpkin Patch in Wheatland, which is about 20 minutes from our house. It is a large pumpkin patch with farm animals, a hayride, fields and fields of pumpkins and lots of yummy treats!! Mia loved looking at all the animals and mommy was really happy to avoid the petting zoo!! After jumping in the hay, we took the hayride to a field of pumpkins and walked around for a little while before we found our perfect pumpkins! After taking the pumpkins to our car, we had the most amazing apple slushies and bought an apple pie to take home! Mia with the chickens

Mia loved the little green pumpkins!

For Halloween, we drove to Redding to visit Papa Peter and Grandma Shelly. Nobody loves Halloween like Grandma Shelly nor does anyone make such amazing costumes! This year's theme was Wizard of Oz and all of us dressed as different characters. Of course, Mia was a beautiful Dorothy!! Daddy was the tin man and Mommy was the tornado! Mia had so much fun and did such a great job trick or treating! She was so brave as she walked to each door and knocked her tiny little knock. Although she did not say "trick or treat", we were very proud that she instead said "please" and "thank you"!
