Halloween and Fall leaves

Yes, it's Fall here in NC, and that means LEAVES to ride your bike through!!
 Odin would back way up with his bike, get "tremendous" speed and then go fast through the leaves!
 Before Halloween we went to a corn maze at a local farm.  They had a huge slide that got the kids going really fast, lots of fun!
 Odin and I went on the "cow-ride" which was basically some black and white painted barrels being pulled behind a tractor around the field.  Fun!
Björn had a lot of fun too!  He especially liked the "spider web" for climbing on.   


 Luckily there weren't many big kids jumping on the web or Björn would have been bounced all over the place!
 Then Halloween night, Odin and Björn went trick-or-treating with their friend Maya (and parents).  Odin's pumpkin was pretty full with candy by the end of the night!
 Maya was a black widow spider, it went well with Odin's Batman.  Björn was "Super-Björn" wearing a superman outfit (no pictures), but he slept most of the time we were trick-or-treating.
Dad's favorite stop was the house that had 2 kegs of home-brew beer outside for the parents!  (and candy for the kids)

Odin enjoyed candy for 2 days and then we negotiated a trade... all remaining Halloween candy in exchange for a toy of his choice from the toy store.  He had his eye on a monster-truck for a while now...so he thought about it, said no, then came back to us 45 minutes later and said he was ready to trade in his candy for the monster truck!  What a big boy!
