Halloween Memories 2021

 

Sunshine and Sunflowers

We had a lovely weekend of sunflowers and sunshine.

Our original plan was to meet family for a day at the Pumpkin Patch but the weather would not cooperate. 

😢😢😢😢

The next day, the sun came out allowing us to join plan B in the sunflowers with friends.  

It was a joyful day! 

We started at the slides.

We were all a little nervous but then we got the hang of it.  

Except for me.

I went down once and it terrified me so much I dared not tried it again (and I know there is video footage somewhere that I hope never reappears).

Look at the youngest of our crew?

I loved his pants. 

Sweet Friends 💗

Any other tween girls obsessed with 'aesthetic pictures'??

I have to say this one turned out cool. 

There was a lot of little things to do.  

It was good to see the kids enjoy the outside time. 

I played a game of Cornhole with my niece.

Yep, we 'SHUCKED'.  

We barley made it to twenty points but

we had a good time (so points don't matter). 

Young BFFS

Slightly Older BFFS. 

I begged Joan to carry me too!  

It's always a good time with this woman. 

Connor got a ride from his cousin.

It was great until she got tired of listening to him....

 and let him roll down a hill.   🤣 

Anybody up for a little pumpkin bowling?? 

We are equally as bad at this as Cornhole. 

The little hayride was precious. 

It was a gorgeous day! 

And there was no mistaking our crew on deck.  

We laughed the whole time.  

Connor was trying to convince us to eat at the local 4 star restaurant wearing our hay gear.

LOVE these two fellows.

The Sunflower Maze had 15 biblical points to go along at each stopping point. 

Taking my sabbath as a day of rest has been one of my spiritual goals.

It's been hard but I have been doing it and making myself/ family/ friends more of a priority as God intended.  

These cousins keep each other straight.

My attempt at a contemplative selfie 

but I just couldn't pull it off. 

True friends are like bright sunflowers that never fade away, even over distance and time.
