Somewhere in October, the fever of summer breaks and it’s tolerable to leave the house again-works out well that it also happens to be Halloween season. Here’s a photo wrap up of the month to fully demonstrate how bad my camera is.
We started out with our annual trip to Spirit to look at this year’s giant creepy animatronic offerings. We don’t usual buy much here because it’s pretty over-priced, but we did grab Lily a replacement broom for her costume.
Next we headed over to this new “Scream Park”. They advertised a kid’s area for the daytime and the girls enjoyed themselves enough but the rides were scary in the wrong sort of way and the entry fee was too high for what it was. If the place is still around in a few years we’ll give it another try.
Carousel Gardens closes in November and by the time it opens in March, it’s already almost too hot to enjoy, so an October trip is our tradition. It’s still 95 degrees, but it’s not 115 degrees, so it’s an improvement.
There was a lot of walking this month since it was finally cool enough to explore our new neighborhood and get our legs and feet strong for the upcoming Boo at the Zoo and trick-or-treating.
She likes this witch dress because it matches my hair and she is adorable.
I didn’t get any pictures of the actual trick- or -treating because I didn’t want to carry my phone all night, but here are the pumpkins that lasted only one night outside before succumbing to the heat. Violet went to a pumpkin carving party at a friend’s house and Lily and I did ours the same night, but…well, they’re like minded as evidenced by these cat-o- lanterns:
In closing, here is a sampling of our Halloween feastings:
