Halloween, Halloween and more Halloween!!!

This year it seems like Halloween flew by. Between Pumpkin Patch, Boo at the Zoo, school parade and party, and a trailer ride through the neighborhood to go trick or treating, we did it all, and are exhausted.
We met up with Derik, Joni, Abbey and Emma to hang out at the zoo.
 
 We even got our 1st season pass to the zoo. They were so excited to take their picture with their costumes on.
 
G-Ma, Cannon, the girls and me had so much fun playing the games and seeing all the animals. It was a pretty cold day, however the girls were so excited about their costumes and wanted to show them off that it was hard to get them to keep their jacket on.
 
Then it was time to enter the Boo at the Zoo part. They are at the perfect age where they could participate in all the booths and games. The Little Gym also had a both set up with rings, balance beam and bars, so of course Alexa and Ava had to show off their "nastic skills." Cannon however wanted no part of it, he just stayed off to the side and waited until it was time to get in the bounce house.
 
We even got to decorate a mini pumpkin and take it home. The girls were so excited, since daddy's been out of town, they decorated theirs for him.
 




There was a stage set up where a group would come play music and sing. That was right up the girls alley. They ran right up to the stage, danced and sang their little hearts out!

To finish off the perfect day at the zoo, of course we had to take a train ride!


Now to school...on Wednesday the girls school asked that we dress the kids in their Halloween costumes so they could show them off in a parade that morning. I took the day off work and G-Ma met me up there to watch them. They looked so cute following the line through the main halls...
 
Then they had a party where they got to decorate a sugar cookie as a cat. They worked hard and did a great job decorating their cookies! I m happy I got to be a part of their day. They are growing so fast, I am so proud of these 2 amazing little girls.

To finish the night off, some of our family came over for dinner and trick or treating. We borrowed a trailer, put some blankets down and they were off. Since there would be lots of in and out, up and downs, walking, etc. I opted to stay home and hand out candy. Before they headed out I got a couple of Pics of these awesome kiddos!The report I got was all the kids got more candy then they could possibly ever eat, and there were a couple if incidents of running through yards and getting some stickers. Besides that, very successful trip and can't wait to do it again next year!
All in all it was a great Halloween! We are very blessed to be surrounded with such amazing family!
