Halloween
Having halloween on a thursday means that weekend festivities start almost an entire week before. That means you celebrate halloween for an entire week. I feel like we started our fall festivities on our vacation with Avila Farms Pumpkin patch which was such a fun treat. One of the best pumpkin patches I have been to. In a beautiful setting with so many fun animals to feed and pet. All the kids had a great time.
Friday the kids went to the Vista Oaks Halloween carnival which was fun. The best part was just hanging out with friends. It was hot and kids lasted about 10 minutes in costumes. I took the McCauleys since Cindy is getting ready to move.
Last weekend we had a neighborhood party put on by our amazing neighbor. She hosted it in the court and put in so much work into all the games and details. All the kids had a great time. Even the older kids. It is really fun to see older kids enjoy just being kids. They grow up in so many ways so fast but there is something magical about halloween that everyone just wants to be a kid again. (probably just the candy, but I want to think it is more...lol).
We had our ward trunk or treat which was so fun that night. Always a great time and a couple of great friends came with is always fun. Tyler and Scott invited friends, Blake hung out with Owen and Adam Krey entertained Parker for a while. We have a great ward and great community. I was bummed to miss the Bilsborough and Duggan parties that weekend. Live outside concert which Danny loves and magical houses. We needed to clone ourselves.
We had a break on Monday and then went to a pumpkin patch on Thursday with Jen. The kids had a great time. I debated taking out my older kids from school but glad I didn't. It was perfect for the littles with rides, slides, animals, trains and more. Went to Del Osso about 45 minutes away.
Wednesday Kira and Blake dressed up for school since they go once a week which was fun. Thursday the boys dressed up. Scott was a VSCO girl. Not sure what it stands for but everyone thought he looked great. He borrowed stuff from his friends and felt good when he came home which was good. Tyler was Dustin from Stranger Things again this year. One of his best friends was Steve so that was fun. Kira was Robin, Blake a jester again, Parker a power ranger and hanna a bee. My kids don't out much thought into what they are going to be. They are pretty easy to please. I only needed to go out to get one thing the night before which is way better than I usually do.
Thursday was Halloween and it was so hot outside which was so nice. We had crazy winds on Sunday and a ton of fires so grateful the weather was perfect. All the kids went trick or treating with friends except Parker and Hanna so we only went with two kids. Two kids! It was crazy. Blake went with Owen, Scott with Evan, Kira with Kinzie, Tyler with Brennan and we went with Parker and Hanna. We went around our court with neighbors which was fun and then went to La Costa and it was packed! We usually go to Shadow Lakes but decided to go up a street from our house. I can't believe how many kids came. Heather said over 400 people came. It was fun but a little too crowded for me with little kids. Apparently Kira was there with her friends. Fun times! Lots of fun for all. Grateful for great friends and families.
