ZOO HALLOWEEN
We started our Halloween by meeting my mom and stepdad at the zoo for their Halloween celebration.
A quick family pic before we head in for the fun!
I think Avery was a pretty darn cute witch:) She insisted on carrying this treat bag at all times-it's almost as big as she is!
Our very adorable little robot. Spencer spent the majority of the 2 hours we were there walking, not riding in the stroller-he's getting so big!
The zoo always does the coolest things with pumpkins/gourds/squash. This is just one of many examples.
The kids playing in the maze.
Meeting Broomhilda, the friendly witch:)
Taking a popcorn break-with my kids, there must always be popcorn!

Grandma escorted Avery on her pony ride.
Avery and Spencer on the giant pumpkin:)
Avery was excited about the Dora decorated pumpkins!
At the end, Avery got to pick out her own little pumpkin.
NEIGHBORHOOD TRICK-OR-TREATING
We initially weren't going to do the neighborhood trick-or-treating thing because, well, mommy is paranoid about strangers. But we know most of the people around us and our neighborhood is really safe, so we headed out to take a spin around our block.
They're off. Spencer did a whole lot more walking during this trick-or-treat session too (we were out for an hour!). I like to measure my kids on how big they're getting based on how much they can walk around by themselves without having to ride in the stroller:)
Spencer had to be carried a bit by daddy though because he got a little slow and wanted to wander!
A quick picture with mommy:)
We had a very nice Halloween day with the kids. It was a lovely family day. The weather was sort of chilly, but it was a beautiful sunny day the entire day so we were lucky!
Hope everyone enjoyed their Halloween weekend celebrations!
Avery and Spencer love having tea parties together. I love having the memories of watching them together (and snapping the photos for proof later!), I hope they are always this close.
