The October Halloween Extravaganza

Ok, so I was surprised to learn that here in the 'bible belt,' lots of people refuse to celebrate Halloween. Something about the origins of the holiday being 'dark'.

We started with a field trip to a pumpkin patch, where Monte gave a new definition to the phrase "cowlick!" The mom and calf just loved Monte! Monte's favorite thing is the big sandbox with corn in it...
