At 6am PaPa and Uncle Tim left for Norman, Oklahoma.   Hope they are not too cold and are excited with the outcome of the OU - Notre Dame football game.  Before they left they installed my car seat in Grandma's car.
At 7:30am Grandma, Barbara, Mommy, and I drove 2 1/2 hours to The Great Pumpkin Train ride. I was awake for 15 minutes and then slept the rest of the trip.  I did the very same thing on the return trip.  We got back to Grandma's home at 4:20pm.  It was a long day and the adults are all exhausted, but everyone had a very good time.
First thing we did was put my Fire Chief Halloween costume on me in the parking lot.
 Later we saw three more firemen but none of them had on my very same costume.  I was very comfortable because it was sweatshirt weather.  I wore my cowboy boots in the car and changed into my fireman's boots for the train ride.  I am very comfortable in boots. 
Mommy and me getting on board.
 We had two seats facing each other, so everyone had a good view of my antics.
I looked at everything from the engineer to the conductor, from engine to dining car, I was enthralled.
The train left on time for the 30 minute trip.  I enjoyed every minute.
 We got off the train...
... and were greeted by several workers dressed in Halloween  costumes.  I was willing to get closest to the witch because she was giving me a little skeleton.   There were approximately twenty things to do or play on. 
 The first thing we did was take a hay ride.
I enjoyed it all but I did have a few favorite things.
 "Mommy, I can do this by myself."
 I went down the big roller slide seven or eight times.
It was made out of PVC pipe.
I swung on a real big boys swing.
 I went down Trick or Treat row and used the knocker...
so the person inside would open the door and give me candy when I said, "Trick or Treat."  I said thank you.  There were 7 or 8 little house.


 I like the tire swing...
 ...and the tire tunnels...
 I was the perfect size to go through them.
There was a small petting zoo, live music, a lemonade/hot dog/funnel cake stand.  There were tables decorated with pumpkins if you needed to sit and rest. They were pricy so we all shared a lemonade.
 In the pumpkin patch, I picked out a pumpkin to bring home.
Barbara went down the roller slide with me one time.
There were several arcade type activities.  I really enjoyed throwing the baseball.  I tossed a ring over a bottle and won a prize.
I think I did everything except the cork rifle shoot.  That was for bigger kids.
The activity I played the most was playing in a big box filled with dried corn.  It was fun to push it around, to run my fingers through it, to walk in it.  It was just fun.  I stayed to play in that box while Grandma stood in line to get us seats on the train for the return thirty minute ride. I ate four pieces of my candy and wanted more, but somehow that was all I given.
There is another event at Christmas time.  I want to go and so does everyone else.  We will wear pajamas when we go on that ride.
Mommy and I drove home.  Barbara stayed at the lake to watch the OU vs. Notre Dame game with Grandma.
Bridget and Chris went to a Hallowen party as golfers.
