Haunted Hay Mazes are a deliciously fun American tradition on Halloween. After we found our way through the spooky hay maze, we had hot chocolate and roasted marshmallows by the fire!

Halloween is one of the giant's favorite holiday! The children dress in costumes and go house to house where they say "trick or treat" and people give them candy. We stopped at a street party where we got to dance with a zombie!

Mmm, church supper at the SDA church! We helped set up and then we got to enjoy a delicious feast!

We made a late night visit to Krispy Kreme donuts. We got to watch how they are made and enjoy their deliciousness! I can see why Krispy Kremes are so popular!

The giant's mommy made these awesome tardis shirts for her favorite Dr. Who fans, for Christmas! The fabric was custom made at Spoonflower and the buttons were handmade, purchased through Etsy, and have tardis' on them. The inside lapel of the shirt has a print of the inside of the tardis, as does the inside of the pocket!

The giant's mommy made pumpkin pancakes and eggs for breakfast. Then we got to taste test three different kinds of apple juice. It was so hard to decide what I liked best, but I think it was the apple pie!

We got a science lesson today! The giant had to create a model of a plant cell, so the giant's mommy helped her to make one out of cookie dough!

We helped bake Christmas cookies! The platters looked so pretty and the giant and her family distributed them to their friends.

On Thanksgiving, we were thankful to be in a community that is warm and welcoming. We went with the giant and her family to St. Timothy's church to share a community Thanksgiving meal.

We walked downtown and took a peek in the shop windows in downtown Iola! They have a lot of interesting and fun stores on the town square.

The giant's mommy got some lovely granny smith apples and showed us how to turn them into an amazing cobbler for brunch!
