A Week of Halloween

Last weekend, we headed to Tulsa and took Evan to Boo Ha Ha. It is just a little street party where kids can go trick or treating at the different merchants on Brookside. However, Evan really didn't get into trick or treating at all, but he loved the little carnival. By the end of the day though, he was really starting to get the concept of Halloween and he was loving it! We were able to meet up with the Wong's and it was so much fun to see all of the kiddos together and all dressed up!

Here is Libby in her Halloween outfit...

Then on Tuesday, the Pittser's invited us to the Fall Festival at their church. It was pretty crowded and we really didn't get to hang out with the Pittsers much, but there was a Jupiter Jump so Evan was happy. They also had a lot of little games and Evan loved playing along and "winning" candy. But the best part was at the end. There was a fire truck outside and the firefighters let Evan go in their truck and explore. And since he was a firefighter for the day, they even let him wear a helmet. Evan was thrilled!!



Then on Thursday night, Matt's receptionist invited us to her family's Halloween party. I don't have any pictures but we had the best time. There were at least fifteen kids there and they had tons of activities and prizes for the little ones. And the best part for Evan was the hay ride. He is still talking about the "fracter" that he got to ride.

Finally on Friday night, Evan went trick or treating for the first time. We met up with the Pittser's and we trick or treating on our street. The first few houses, Evan was a little shy. But in no time at all, he had the hang of it and was actually saying "I want some candy" rather than "trick or treat"! Libby got to go along also but she fell asleep before we even left our yard.



Evan was so excited when we got home, he just kept showing off his loot all evening and it was almost impossible for him to go to sleep. I absolutely love Halloween so I was really glad he had such a positive experience! Hopefully, next year he will pick out his costume. I can't hardly to see what he wants to be!!
