Early Halloween Party

With Aunt Becca in town from the big PA, Grandma threw an early Halloween Party.  She had cute banana ghosts, clementine pumpkins, witch finger breadsticks and yummy soup.  We hit a pinata and had fun running around and being crazy with our cousins!

HaLlOwEen!

We take Halloween seriously around here!  No particularly the decorating or the costumes....mainly the TRICK OR TREATING!!!!  We have a system.  I get the kids dressed in the ir costumes and take them down to Colonial Square at 4 to trick or treat to the little shops.  That's just a warm up.
Then I feed the kids our traditional jack o lantern pizza before taking them around the block.  About that time Kody gets home and then he and the girls get down to business.  I drive them to the top of the hill and they trick or treat back to our house.  This year they got back to the house about 8:30.  Mallory was exhausted and I put her to bed but Tessa and Kylie dumped out their pumpkins and went back out to trick or treat until 9.
My husband in a small town and they had to drive from house to house so it took a long time and they didn't get a lot of candy...I think he is now living vicariously through our girls and makes them sort their candy to see just how much they got :)

California Day 6-San Diego Zoo

For our final day in California we headed to the San Diego Zoo.  It was alot slower pace and we saw tons of cool animals that we don't have at our state zoo: Rhinos, Okapi, Koalas, Cheetahs, Orangutans,
Hippos, and Pandas.  The girls loved the Aerial Tram, the 4D Rio Movie, and the petting zoo.  A great way to end a fun vacation!
