Hometown Halloween


For those of you who do not live in Brentwood, Hometown Halloween is a time where the downtown area is closed off and local business owners set up booths and pass out candy to the children. This is a fun event but, a very crowded one. We usually arrive a little early, before it gets too busy. Logan and Michael love to get together with their cousins Brooke and Lindsay ( Adam and Mindy' girls ).




Afterwards, Grandma had a party at her house. It was so much fun. She had made spider sandwiches and a spooky punch!




Kayla and Grandma making carmel apples.




The tired bunch watching " Its the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown".

Smith Family Farm

Its a tradition. Every fall for the past four years we have visited the Smith Family Farm. Of course this year would be no different. We love this place and look forward to it every October.

The first thing we did was go straight to the barn and check what times the barn show would be open. Sure enough we got there ten minutes before the next show. Just in time to get front row seats.




Next, we were off the see the farm animals. Logan and Kayla were able to crush corn to feed to the chickens.




After lunch, we checked out the General Store. Logan was pleasantly surprised to find Shrek there.




Next, we hit the Corn Maze. I was a little concerned about losing Michael during this event. But, thankfully we only had to redirect him a few times after he ran in the opposite direction.




After the Corn Maze, we hopped on board the hay wagon for a ride out to the pumpkin patch.




Mikey hugged several pumpkin until he found just the right one!




Kayla's perfect pumpkin!




Logan told us all morning that he was going to pick a memeum (medium) pumpkin.




Just waiting for the next wagon to take us to our car.
