We had a long weekend of Halloween fun. On Saturday Craig, Bray and I went to the Pumpkin Patch and had a blast! It's like a mini fair there with a ton of rides. We did the petting zoo where Braydon stalked a bunny, running after him and jumping up and down. Then we did a train ride twice, a carousel, a bouncy house and the most fun was a giant slide. He loved the slide, he went over and over, he was the smallest guy charging it all by himself. After all the rides we picked out a giant pumpkin. We met the Purcell's at the Brigantine for tacos and then went home.
On Sunday we carved the pumpkin. Craig did most of the work. Braydon didn't like putting his hand in the pumpkin to feel the seeds, it freaked him out but he loved watching daddy carve it.
On Monday, actual Halloween day, Mimi and Grampy came to visit and we went to Legoland in the morning. He went on a bunch of rides because for some reason the park was empty. After Brays nap Daddy came home and we dressed Bray up in his Lion costume that Grandma Schwarz made him. Our neighborhood had a giant block party and Bray loved running around with all the neighborhood kids. After the block party all of us and Mimi and Grampy took Bray Trick or Treating for his first time. We wheeled him around in his wagon and went door to door. He was a little scared of some of the decorations and hung onto Daddy but loved the ghosts and pumpkins. He especially loved the part where people gave him candy. He would dig his hand in the bowl and take the candy and want to eat it right away. He was say "Trick or Treat!" in his little high pitched voice. It was so cute.
The next morning Bray went into the pantry where we kept the candy for the Trick or Treaters and when he saw the candy was gone he went "oh no!" and ran to his wagon, got in it, pointed to the door and said "Trick or Treat!" He wanted to go door to door to get more candy :)
