Happy Halloween to you! Here are a couple of pictures of our Halloween fun with Tinkerbell and Mia Monkey.
Our Halloween fun started on Wednesday morning because it was costume day at school. Both girls were so excited to wear their costumes. Lily is all about Tinkerbell these days, so she was thrilled with her costume. We are constantly saying "Monkey see, Monkey do" with Mia, so that was the perfect choice for her. They had a great time showing off their costumes and seeing what the other kids dressed up as too. Of course, they were excited about the little bags of candy they brought home too!
The fun continued on Friday as we all went to The Little Gym for their Halloween party. There were lots of kids there all dressed up which was so cute to see. They had their inflatable jump track up and all the equipment was available for use. They also had lots of good snacks available (Halloween pretzels, blueberry lemon muffins, brownies, veggies and dips, apples and apple juice) which we all enjoyed. We also signed Lily up for the next semester of gymnastics; she loved it so much last year, and I think she'll enjoy it again this spring.
On Saturday we got all dressed up and headed to Boo at the Zoo. This is such a fun time! The zoo has great, fun (nothing scary) decorations up which I like to see. They also have several booths set up where vendors are handing out candy for the kids. It was a beautiful day, so all the animals were out moving around which is always fun to watch. A lot of them were munching on pumpkins too which was pretty funny to see. The sun bear would completely stick his head inside to pull the insides out. They also have a big tent set up to visit. Inside, they have arts and crafts to do, characters to meet, a corn maze to walk through and a stage where the kids can walk across and show off their costumes. Both girls were so excited to see Curious George, Cat in the Hat and Clifford available to meet. Lily refused to go up to them (I think she was hungry and getting tired), but Mia was happy to. After this tent, we went to the petting zoo where the girls were happy to get brushes to use on the animals. We ran into our friend Laura and her oldest son, Nate, in this area. Nate looked adorable dressed up as Woody from Toy Story. By this point, we could see the girls were fading quickly, so we decided to head on out. It was pretty crowded and since we have season passes, we can come back another time. We let the girls eat their lollipops on the way to lunch at Five Guys so they wouldn't fall asleep. After lunch we came home and got ready for naps. Here are lots of pictures from our time at Boo at the Zoo.
After nap time, the girls couldn't wait to open their Halloween presents from Grandpops and Grandma Jan which had arrived in adorable bags. There were all sorts of goodies inside including adorable outfits for both girls! Mia loved her new lift-the-flap book and band aides; she couldn't wait to put one on. Lily loved her candy corn jewelry, window stickers, butterfly wand, stickers, magnets to color, growing sponges (you put capsules in water and they grow into little sponges!) and coloring book. She and Ryan made the sponges grow, and then we colored the magnets together. These bags were definitely a big hit!
