A Hoedown or two

The night before Halloween, our church had a Hoedown.  It was complete with a square dance caller and a texas-style dinner.  We dressed up the fam and headed there.  Because Cory and I were busy with other things, Landry was the only one who tried her hand at square dancing.  She mainly got in the way, but she had a really great time.  Here are a couple of pictures from the night.

Then, this past weekend, we went back home to attend the Harvest Hoedown at my parents' house.  It's basically a fall festival at their house.  They invite friends and family and, believe me when I say, my mom goes all out.  We're talking chili cook-off, homemade hot tamales, popcorn, snow cones, games for the kids, hayrides, bonfires, etc.  It was a great turn-out and everyone had such a wonderful time.  Here a few pictures from the special event:

These were some very large horseshoes.  Landry thought they worked better as a belt.

 Aunt Connie was in charge of face painting

And this was after LSU beat Alabama!!!!

The kids with Uncle Josh and Aunt Trista.  Can't wait till the new little cousin gets here!!!

Landry and Eli kept fishing for treats even after the Harvest Hoedown was over.  This is the next day.

I just love Eli's face in this pic!
