Pumpkin Carving and Halloween Fun!

Happy Halloween!  We had a fun time carving pumpkins and trick-or-treating!  We also went to a neat talk at the library about bats and got to see some up close and personal.  Last Sunday was Grandpa Schroeder's birthday and we celebrated Matt and Kayla's birthdays too! What a week!

 Happy Birthday Kayla and Matt!

Boo at the Zoo and a Bon Fire!

We had a really busy day on Saturday!  First, Edison and I went to the zoo and had fun celebrating Halloween by wearing costumes and getting into the fall spirit.  We rode a hay ride, posed with lots of fall decorations, played in hay, built a scarecrow, and went through the corn maze.  After the zoo, we met some friends from dinner and then went to a bonfire.  Edison had fun sitting by the fire and playing with his cars.  During the bonfire, we spotted the space station in the sky!  It was a really full day and everyone was tired at the end.

 All ready to go!
