All of the kids together before we went into the zoo. Ava was a Kitty, Jed was Scooby Doo, Landon was a Ninja Turtle, Abby was a Princess, and Sophie was Minnie Mouse.
We only saw one other Ninja Turtle the whole night, so we had to get a picture of them together.
They had set up a lot of little games for the kids to do in the petting zoo area. In this game they had toys hidden in the straw. Jed just liked playing in the straw, forget the toys :)
The zoo had set up hundreds of pumpkins (real and fake). Ava saw a row of these purple pumpkins and wanted to get her picture by one since it's her favorite color.
Every adult we walked by looked at Jed and said "Scooby Dooby Doo" just like in the cartoon. He sure had fun looking at all the strangely dressed people and glittery lights.
I tried to get a shot of all the lights that they had strung up everywhere. This doesn't do it justice though. The zoo sure does put a lot of work into this event and we really enjoyed it!
We went to a party at Ben & Suzy's for Halloween. It was fun to have everyone get together and dress up. Jed was on a serious sugar high after eating doughnuts and candy all night, but as you can see in the photo, he was sure to brush his teeth afterwards :)
I babysat Alexander, or I should say that he came over to play because he was the easiest kid ever to watch. Jed and Alexander just played the entire time. They chased each other all around the house, played with the toys together and maneuvered through the kitchen chairs like it was a fun little maze to explore. The funniest thing is that everytime they caught up with each other they would butt heads and then bust up laughing!
John and I went 4-wheeling one Sunday in Ririe. We found some good trails and there weren't too many people out. Thanks Grandma & Grandpa for babysitting; it's nice to get out just the two of us sometimes!
