We loaded the wagon and headed out on Halloween with a Cowgirl, Hunter, Elephant, and Skeleton in tow. They all did really well, making it around the subdivision, not wanting to stop despite the misting rain and cold temperatures. This year Zane was really into it, proclaiming in a very auditable voice, “trick-or-treat!”. At a few houses people held out a bowl for the kids to choose from and Zane proceeded to grab the whole bowl! When he wasn’t taking the whole bowl, he would grab three or four pieces, opposed to the polite one piece. It was pretty cute.
Violette decided to abandon the beloved Rapunzel costume in favor of a warmer elephant that Max wore last year. She looked adorable. Max loved being a hunter and toted his pop gun with him. Noelle has started up riding lessons again and opted to be a cowgirl. He brand new pink cowgirl boots were the perfect accessory for the costume. When Max was two (well, just shy of 2) he was a skeleton and it was just natural for Max’s clone to where it too. Zane would tell people, “I a skel-ton!”. Tom and I did not dress up this year, but the children are planning a family costume for next year. The Zoo Keeper and animals was a big hit last year with them!
We also discovered this great park right around the corner with countless trails through acres of woods. This past weekend we decided to head out and have some Family Fun. The leaves crunched under our feet and let the children decided the route. When we came upon a fork in the trails, they debated which way to go, Noelle and Max usually at the forefront of the debate. Tom and I loved holding hands while our brood wandered ahead, picking up sticks, chasing each other, and really enjoying our time in the woods. This park will be visited many times in the future!

Looks like a lot of fun this year. We had talked of using the elephant this year, so glad we didn't so you could get some use out of it again.
