We're off to see the Wizard, the Wonderful Wizard of Oz!
I read the Wizard of Oz to the kids last month, then we watched the movie, and then Jason and Beth chose to continue reading books in the series. So it made perfect sense that they would choose this theme for our trick-or-treating adventures. A busy week and last minute planning left me without much of a costume but I was Toto, really I was :)
We had a blonde Dorothy and our tall Scarecrow
There was Adam as the Tinman.
And then we have Glinda the Good Witch with the Wizard of Oz himself!
On Halloween we went trick-or-treating in a nearby neighborhood with friends.
We were quite the bunch going door to door!
Before Halloween we attended our church's Harvest Festival where there was a bouncy house
and a proud rider down the big slide!
And there were pony rides!
Two days later we attended our realtor's neighborhood pumpkin patch where there were pony rides again!
And a petting zoo. Beth says this goose was the softest thing in there.
There was also a pie eating contest. Jason did very well coming in third place and loving every minute of it even though he doesn't like pie
(it wasn't pie, it was a pile of strawberry goo and whip cream).
And best of all, all of these activities had friends!
Happy Fall!!!
