Trick or Treat . . .






























. . .and other fun things. Happy Halloween everyone !! Reese had her first experience with trick or treat last night and we had a blast. Tiff met us her with her kids and some of their friends and luckily another 3 year old named Adam to trick or treat with Riley. They had a blast together and had to hold hands the whole time, and then they would get up to a door and say "trick or treat" in unison . . . it was so darn cute. They were having so much fun we actually stayed out for 2 whole hours!!! Of course Reese passed out in her stroller after the first 45 minutes. When we got home we were passing our candy by the handfuls just to get rid of it all in the last hour, but then we got rid of it too quickly and we were done passing it out before 8pm. Here is a funny video of Reese dancing to our trick or treat tree, as Riley calls it. And some other cute pics I thought you might enjoy. We did lots of fun Halloween things this year. We were in a Halloween parade last week and got to ride on a float and pass out lots of candy to all the kids! We rode on the float with Grandpa, Grandma Julie, Judy, Angie, and Sophia. Joe and David walked next to the float pushing strollers and Reese of course took a nap through most of it:) Riley had a ton of fun and ate plenty of candy herself. We also ventured out to a pumpkin patch with a big group of friends and had a fun day at the petting zoo, launching pumpkins, playing in a bounce house, going on a hayrack ride, and picking pumpkins. We have had a ton of fun in the last few weeks, I'm sure the kids are going to be bouncing of the walls bored this next week, but I am looking forward to it :) I hope everyone has a great Halloween!
