We started off our Halloween festivities with a trip to the Pumpkin Patch. The kids had such a blast. They rode the ponies, took rides on the zip line, played in the corn, picked out pumpkins, went for barrel rides and just ran around with smiles on their faces. I think their favorite was the zip line and they would have stayed on it the whole night if we would have let them. Amazingly McKay did it all by himself and held on nice and tight until one of us got him off. Everyone chose out a pumpkin with the intentions of carving them, but they just ended up sitting on our front porch, oops.
The kids then got to put their costumes on for the first time at the Activity Day's Halloween Party. All the girls kept asking McKay to roar and Brooklyn had a blast decorating cupcakes with them. We all then dressed up for Brian and Brooke's annual Halloween party. The rule this year was that everyone had to dress up, which I think was a fun rule. The kids had a blast playing Halloween games and getting candy out of the pinata and just playing with their cousins.
Then finally was the grand finale...Trick or Treating. We once again headed to Eric and Kim's neighborhood and it was packed. The kids ran from house to house, even McKay ran the entire time (which is a good thing because I forgot to bring the stroller), he refused to slow down and because of the he fell a few times but was quick to pop back up and get right back at it. The best part of the evening was when McKay looked up and there was a kid, probably about 8 years old, wearing a scream mask and it just completely freaked McKay out. I couldn't help laughing. The kids had a blast and got a ton of candy. Brooklyn is already thinking of what she should be next year. I do have to say that we had the cutest dinosaur and butterfly around.
