Halloween 2012

We started off the day with a little Fall Festival action at a park near us. It was way bigger than I expected, with way more people, which meant way longer lines! It was a Dr. Seuss theme, so all the games were named after Dr. Seuss books and there were lots of Dr. Seuss characters running around. We met Mary, Shelly and the girls and Thomas, and Katie and the boys there. We rode a hayride, played a few games, had some snacks and waited in line FOREVER to ride a 1 minute train ride. But, that's what the boys wanted to do, so we waited and rode. Quickly. It was a nice day, not too hot or cold and the kids had fun running around as a pink princess (Haley), a purple fairy (Annabelle), a football player (Thomas), Darth Vader (Wade), a leopard (Lily), Ironman (Jack), and Superman (Ford). That's a lot of kids!

Later, Wade went trick-or-treating with Mark, while I stayed home with Lily (who was fast asleep, due to her poor, sore little mouth) and handed out candy. Mark said they walked for blocks and blocks and came home with quite the haul. He had a few pieces of candy and about 10 minutes after he went to bed, was asleep. A very successful Halloween!


Darth, about to take on the town
Tons of treats!
