Halloween

Last weekend was Halloween. Alison and Eric came for the weekend. It was especially fun because Auntoh Ali made all of our costumes this year -- SPIDERS!!!

On Saturday we trekked down to Anderson Farms in Erie to visit the pumpkin patch and see all the farm activity. Unfortunately due to our heavy snow earlier that week, most of the pumpkins still on the ground were ruined and it was VERY muddy. But we had a great time!

On the hay ride with Alex, Ali, and Eric

Alex and Eric are inspected by a brown hen

Alex and Uncle Eric manage to squeeze into the bucket train!

It's difficult to see, but this is a group of very big cows and one dominant buffalo
who gathered around the hayride when we stopped next to their field.

Here are the three black widows who graced us with their presence

And here we can see the juvenile male of the species...

Speaking of Alex, here is a brief video of him using his tools to build a new helicopter pad!



Here is a video of the sheep at the farm talking to Genevieve



And finally here is a video of the tractor that pulled the hayride. This is here mostly so I can show ti to Alex later when I need to distract him!
