Happy Halloween

I'm really late posting our Halloween pictures. This year was almost a disaster. We tried to take Cameron to Bonnie Springs...it's old Nevada. They were supposed to have a kids area this year. The website looked great - train ride, pumpkin patch, pony rides, petting zoo. Let's just say the best part of it was the ride home. We basically paid to go to a petting zoo you couldn't pet...or see. It smelled horrible. There was no pumpkin patch. Actually, there were no lights! It's was dark and there was NOTHING there.

I felt so bad that I decided I had to take Cameron back to the pumpkin patch we took him to last year. It was small and in a parking lot, but apparently that's the best option in Vegas. Cameron had a blast!! He was so excited about picking out a pumpkin. There was also a small petting zoo. He really did't want to pet anything...he just kept bending over to talk to the goats.



We carved the pumpkin that same night. He was right in there to help scoop it out. However, he didn't want to touch the pumpkin guts. He would only use the spoon. When it came time to carve the pumpkin he sat in my lap so he could watch the entire process. When we light a candle inside, he sang happy birthday to it! He now associates candles with singing happy birthday.

We had a Halloween party with the kids. They all put on their costumes and had a great time. They got to hunt for pumpkin lollipops...Cameron loved it and found the most. We also let them decorate cupcakes. It was such a hit (thanks Monica for the great ideas).

On Halloween we took the kids to the District at Green Valley Ranch to trick or treat. Again, Cameron was so excited. It was all he could talk about. He loves his "punkin" and did good carrying it around the entire time. He was even walking up to trick or treat all by himself.

As you can see from the mess he's laying in...he is loving this Halloween stuff. He made him self comfortable on the floor with a box of Nerds...you can see them all over the floor all around him. What a mess!

Overall, Halloween was a success! I'm sure Christmas will be just as much fun. We were into Target and they already had Christmas trees out...he ran up to them all excited asking what it was. Let the fun begin.
