There once was a witch and a robot...

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!

A picture with grandma and pop pop.

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!
