As usual, Halloween is a big deal for us since it is one of our favorite times of the year. I take some time off of work and we get to enjoy many of the Halloween related activities around the area.
Our back yard looks more and more festive each year.
Evolution of a Jack O'Lantern.
Ethan's design.
It looks pretty cool.
By November, it doesn't look so good.
This year we went to Spookyville (twice!). It was a good time. Also we went a second time because the lines to the corn maze in another area were ridiculous and super expensive. Since we did so many activities, the corn maze didn't happen until the day before Halloween, which was on a Saturday, so it seems like that is when everyone started going out for Halloween. We ended up going back to Spookyville a second time instead.
He liked the rides and all of the activities.
A not-so-scary Halloween dragon.
Why not mix two costumes together. A space skeleton?
A new activity this year was the Halloween reading party at the library. It was air conditioned so Ethan could wear his astronaut costume to the library for story time.
It was like a Kindergarten class with songs, activities, and story time.
After that, everyone got to go trick-or-treating around the library for goodies.
Another new experience was Trunk or Treat in Lake Worth Beach.
Hello.
Yes, we got more candy here. The car displays were very well decorated with lots of candy too.
He called his Marvel hat part of a costume because super heroes dress in costumes.
Finally Halloween night.
We actually didn't have a specific plan and decided to wing it. After all of the attempted planning, we decided to go out for early voting and find a good neighborhood (ours has no sidewalks and half of the streets are cul-de-sacs which aren't the best). We ended up finding the best neighborhood I've ever seen for Halloween. The entire community seemed to be outside and into the Halloween spirit.
Ethan went as a robot for Halloween night. Yes, same as last year but when he has several costumes and many events, it feels new again.
We got some trick-or-treating in before sunset but also a lot afterwards. The night time pictures weren't as nice but we got to do so much, we were dragging Ethan back in his little wagon and he was turning down candy on the way because his pale was "too heavy."
