Fall Fun

We spent the last weekend kicking off the holiday season...YEA! We even planned our activities on the best weekend, it was slightly overcast with a nice breeze. Saturday we took Olivia to Scott and Long's Farm in Zellwood, yea I had never been either. It was fun just a little disappointed that there was no pumpkin patch, you could just buy them at the little store they set up. But the kids had a blast playing, doing the corn maze, and taking a hay ride through the field.

We even enjoyed a nice lunch on the way back to Mark and Jenny's at the local Chili's. Which was pretty much the only place to eat there. We were in the country folks we were lucky they had a Chili's at all. Then it was back to their house to make Halloween Gingerbread Houses. Now, this was a task we decided that should be left up to us mom's to build the house while the guys took the kids to the playground. Then we could decorate it while the guys went to the store for dinner goods. But to get back to the building...none of us had done this before! It was interesting but we figured it out. The fun part was letting the kids decorate. Olivia sat with me while I did most of the decorating and she decided that she was just going to eat the candy. She picked up a gummy pumpkin and just started eating. Oh well there is only so much I can fight her on. I think we had more candy on the ground then on our houses. It was a blast.




Sunday it was off to Sea World to see the fish and the sharks. We joined the rest of the Morse clan got our plan of attack ready. In just a few hours we had seen 2 shows, had lunch, Trick-or-Treated (sort of), and rode some rides. Pretty impressive for only a few hours.

Olivia loved the Dolphin and Whale show and the Shamu Show. She just stares and claps for them the whole time. I love watching her expression and her 'wow' face that she makes. After 2 days of trying to get her to try on her Halloween costume we finally got her in it while we were there so she could get some candy. For not taking a nap until 4 she did great and had fun spending the day with her grandparents, aunt's and unlce.


We sure do have the cutest little 'Buzz Buzz' in the world!
