Terrorizing Auntie Jamie

Jamie is spending some time at the nursery she used to work at.   They just set up a pumpkin patch and have the cutest Halloween decorations so I packed up the kids and went to visit her.  Of course it was more like terrorizing Jamie at work as we chased after the boys telling them not to toss pumpkins in the air, put rocks in the pond, or splash water at every fountain we passed.  But the kids always like wandering around the garden, looking at the plants and display bridges.  We all decided our favorite plant was the Shrimp Plant.  Funny looking thing with pink-orange-redish colored leaves that hang with a slight curve resembling cooked shrimp.  I really wish I would have caught a picture of Noah and Julian pretending to be attacked by the fake plastic spiders…that was pretty amusing.
