It is that time of the year again. The time that the base we live on puts on a family friendly Halloween event, complete with pumpkin decorating, food, games and a bounce house for the kids.
We started out this day by going to the MARC House to get our pumpkin from their "Pumpkin Patch." This is my first year going to the MARC House to get pumpkins. The proceeds from the sale go to support the MARC House. The MARC House supports citizens with developmental disabilities. They have a year round nursery that you can purchase beautiful plants and trees from. We've purchased a mango tree in the past from them and it is still doing well. The MARC House did a good job of having games for everyone to play, as well as having a large choice of beautiful pumpkins to chose from. Grace loved the bean bag toss and picking up the small pumpkins.
After we picked our three perfect pumpkins we went home and got ready for the Halloween Family event. We brought our pumpkins to the event so we could decorate them. We enjoyed some snacks and candy. I just about had to drag Grace out of the bounce house. She has finally gotten the hang of it and LOVES it!
Looking forward to next year. Grace will really know what it is all about by that time.
