Black Island Farms

Hello all of you (3) people who read this blog! I'm back after a very long hiatus!! I wanted to blog about Black Island Farms, because it is Erin's Sixth year visiting it. We love to have traditions, and this is a very fun one. In the beginning of Erin's life we had planned to take a picture of her in the corn box at BIF every year, and we would look back and see how she grew and how much fun we have had at the farm. We haven't always taken the greatest picture, but we have been there every year!  Here they are:

Halloween Happenings

We had a lot of activities for Halloween this year! Lots-o-fun!!

We carved pumpkins, the girls did not want to actually touch the guts, and Rylee just wanted to eat it, but every time she did she would decide she didn't like it.

A funny side note, I was wearing the same shirt when we carved last year!

My cute girls and their pumpkins!

Here's my pumpkin display.  I love Pumpkins!!  Although I do love my girls more.  What could be better than the two together?

Sweet little Rylee witch

 

 

Erin and Gilee, Gma's new pup. 

Auntie Terry had a really fun Laboratory Party, the food was so cute, and we did the Monster Mash cake walk and decorated pumpkins. It was so fun, thanks Terry!

Then we went to Black Island Farms.  It was pretty dark but we managed to get the traditional picture!

I guess Rylee was too little to be in the corn this year!  She was 2 months old!

On Halloween we went to the Aquarium, it was all decked out and spooky. Good day to go as really no one else was there.

Erin loved these vampire teeth she won in a "toss the bug to the spider web" game.  It's a very creepy picture of her.

 

 

 

 

After the aquarium we went Trick-or-Treating!  The girls both had so much fun, Erin was quite the pro, saying "Trick Or Treat" every time, then "Thankyou" and sometimes even "Happy Halloween!"  Rylee was really cute, she walked about half the time, and stuffed her face with candy all night.  She is  a candy fool!  When she got tired of walking Erin got a piece of candy for her at the doors, too.  It was really sweet. (pun intended)

When we got home Erin had still some more fun handing out candy to the kids. 

 

The holidays just keep getting funner and funner as the girls get bigger.  I love that they know what is going on and they want to participate.  Erin even picked out what she wanted to be.  She got her idea from a book called Two Little Witches, and she wanted herself and Rylee to be "Two Little Witches Trick or Treating in the Dark on Halloween Night" (a line from the book)  We hope you all had as great a Halloween as we did!  Eh He He He He Heh!!
