Halloween Traditions

This week we comensed our Halloween seasonal traditions. There are only two, but we are hoping to continue them throughout our lives.
We first visited the Corn Maze at Buckalew Farms. Mark and I first went to the Maze together when we began dating. It was our first date after deciding that we would take our friendship to the next level. We have four years of photos taken with the same pumpkin, it will be cool to see how our lives (and looks) have changed over time as we continue this tradition.

First date, 2008

We were curious how Lily would manage the long walk through the maze, but she did awesome! She especially was happy when we started eating kettle corn together. Honestly, the kettle corn and bom fire are my favorite part. We only last an hour in the maze and begin to get annoyed cause we have only 3 out of the 18 check points. Overall we had lots of fun and happy that lily got to experience her first corn maze.

 

Then on Saturday, we carved pumpkins with the Ontiveros family. Mark carved Lily's pumpkin, which he tried to make it look like her, he did a great job. My pumpkin...not so much. I was over zelous and tried to do a dia de los muertos pumkin. Just as I was carving the last piece, the face popped out of the pumpkin and cracked on the floor. SAD DAY! I could not save it, so I opted for carving two big hearts and attaching them with toothpicks in the area where my real carving once stood. So lame. Lily was not to impressed with the pumpkins, she was way to tired to care. But, at least mark and I still had fun!

Next up...HALLOWEEN!!
