A Great Halloween

We had such a fun Halloween as a family.  Whitney really got into the holiday and was super excited for it to come.


What an Incredible looking family.  I thought we were all looking pretty darn cute.


We went to the Tri-Cities the weekend before Halloween for my mom's birthday.  There happened to be a couple of Halloween things going on in the community on the Saturday.  So here we are at the library.  Whitney is making a spider web.


We decorated cupcake haunted houses.  The girls loved making the house, but didn't really like eating them.  So Will was stuck eating two cupcakes, but I don't think he minded too much.


The girls show off their little toilet paper tube bats.  


Then we went to a moose lodge that was just down the street from the library.  Whereas the library had mostly crafts, the moose lodge had classic carnival games.  Whitney and Rachel especially loved fishing for miniature candy bars.


The cake walk was also a big hit.  Whitney kept wanting to play it, even after getting her cupcakes.


Megan couldn't really participate, but we did pretend to have her play the beanbag toss.  She was mostly just there to look cute and complete our Incredible family.  Bytheway, we won cutest costume contest at the moose lodge and got a little stuffed skeleton teddy bear, so that was neat.


Then we went to the pumpkin farm to get a couple of pumpkins.


Look at my cute scarecrow and pumpkin.  The girls love putting their heads into any kind of cutout.


This was probably the favorite of the day - a sandbox full of corn kernels.  Both girls had a blast dumping things and playing with the toys.


It is kind of hard to tell but Whitney is riding in the back of the train.  She was the only one on the train and told me she wanted to ride in the caboose.  It only made me a little nervous because the driver looked like he was only like twelve.  But she was really happy with the train ride.


We went through the hay maze and didn't get really lost. Hooray for little mazes with little children.


We waited to get back to Umatilla to carve our pumpkins.  Whitney picked a smiley face for her pumpkin and the other one became the 'I' for the Incredibles.  Anyway, we had a great Halloween and now the girls are happy to have lots of candy to eat.
