Halloween

We again attended the Halloween festivities at Family Student Housing on Saturday, October 30th. This year they had a photo booth too and captured a great shot of our family costumes (above). Does anyone have any guessing as to who we are?

Here's jarad pulling a pretty cute rabbit out of his hat:

As part of the festivities there were lots of fun crafts that Avalon enjoyed! Most of the time she spent coloring trick or treat bags. She had colored three bags before we realized it and stopped her from taking any more bags.

Next she spent some time with dad decorating a pumpkin with stickers.

Here's the pumpkin when it was finished and before she decided to pull off all the stickers again.
She wasn't too excited about posing with her pumpkin after she was done.

She did much better posing with dad while wearing his hat and he was wearing her hat. As you'll notice during most of the festivities she did not want to wear her hat.
She also made a candy corn necklace with a little help from mom.

While Avalon was busy with her crafts, Archer was just hanging out with mom or dad. After the crafts were done, we participated in the costume parade around the complex and Archer fell asleep in dad's arms.

After Avalon's nap, we met up with some friends from Camille's PEP group at the pumpkin patch.

We tried to get a cute picture of Archer with the pumpkins, but the sun was in his eyes.
Jarad's favorite part of our costumes (the adult costumes anyway) was Camille's cape.

Avalon loved the hay ride, which she went on twice. Once with mom and once with dad.

Here's a self photo taken by Camille while on the hayride with Avalon.

She also loved playing with the water pump and was pretty wet when she was finished!

Archer again spent most of his time hanging out with mom or dad.

Stay tuned for Avalon's first real trick or treating adventure in our next post...
