MEA break = All kinds of Halloween FUN!

Isaac was very excited to have a day off of school!  Despite the nasty cold/cough he had we still had LOTS of fun together.  I tried to make these days extra special for him.  We stayed VERY busy making all kinds of Halloween treats,projects, movies and more.  We ended our weekend with our annual trip on the pumpkin train.  Despite the snow it was a great time!!

Twin Cities Harvest Festival and Maze

Today we went to the largest corn maze in MN.  It was a bit chilly...the weather was not as predicted.  But we made the most of it...dressed warm and the kids had a blast.  The corn pit was the biggest hit...pretty sure if that was the only activity they would have been okay with that. 

Special thanks to Grandma Mimi for coming with and making the day so special. 

If you have never been or are looking for a fun filled afternoon you should check this place out.  Located in Brooklyn park.

There are tons of pictures so brace yourselves.
