Witch Hunting at Gardner Village

 Earlier this month we went to Gardner Village to go see the Witches.
 
 
I, of course, also saw it as a picture taking opportunity.
I've been trying to use my camera in manual mode
and thought this would be a good chance to practice.
But most of my pictures turned out horrible!
I finally went back to automatic and got a few okay shots.
I was completely stressed and overwhelmed the whole time.
I think the pregnancy hormones were getting the best of me.
 


Lexi is so in love with her costume that she was in the mood to pose.
 




 


 
 

Eli had a blast. He mostly just ran around the whole time while his dad followed him.
 




I love Lexi in this next picture. I have no idea why she is making a kissing face.



This next picture is blurry but it's one of the best pictures I got of this little man on the move.
 




This is what usually happens when I try to get a picture of all three of them.
Just one looks.
But I just love Eli's lips in this shot.
 
 
Here's a witch hunt from 2013 and 2012.

Trip to Pumpkin Patch

 Earlier this month, we went to the pumpkin patch down the street from us.
And I think we went there the year before that but I didn't blog about it, so I can't be sure.
Anyway, here are some pictures I took...
 



Eli was so excited about the tractor.
 




And Mr. Buddy loved running through the fields.
 



I love these candid shots of Avery being Avery.
 




My three kiddos. I sure love them.
 


Wouldn't Sean make a cute farmer?
 





The property is right not a busy road and next to a school so I don't get the best pictures.
But a cute old couple from our stake owns it.
And we have several friends that work at the pumpkin patch.
So we keep going back every year.
 


This picture was taken right before Eli fell in that whole. He wasn't thrilled.
 


On top of the world! Or at least the hay tower.
 





I love a good jumping picture.
