Halloween Activities!

A week before Halloween we went out to Hurricane with our friends the Cook's to dinner and then to "Sleepy Hollow".  We had been there last year and were excited to go again.  It was just as fun this year and we really enjoyed it.  

Once you get there you go on a hayride through the farm over to the actual "Sleepy Hollow" area.
The headless horseman of course escorts you! 

They had hay to feed all the many animals they had there.  Calin and Dylan were loving all the animals! 

Cute friends! We are so glad Calin has Dylan to play with! 

Clara came and enjoyed observing everything in the bjorn! 

Calin waving on his horse ride! He loved it! 

Riding the sleepy hollow train! 

Finishing off the night with a visit with the headless horseman! 

Monday before Halloween we made sugar cookies and then frosted them the next day.  Calin helped mix the cookies and then helped frost too! 

He loves to stir! 

He ate about the same amount of candy corn as what he put on his cookies.  
He was definitely on a sugar high that night! 

Clara hung out and watched us all frost cookies for a little bit then played in the living room. 

Calin's creations! 

Wednesday before Halloween we carved our pumpkins.  Calin was not a fan of pulling the insides out until I gave him the big scooper spoon and then he didn't mind it and had fun! 

Perfect face! 

Such a good helper! 

Calin's pumpkin! He wanted triangle eyes, oval nose, (he drew them himself with just a little help to keep the pen on the pumpkin) and a smiley mouth with "fangs that glow so bright"!  It turned out great! 

Our pumpkins! Robby always makes great scary face pumpkins! I go for the easy traditional faces! 

We forgot to get a pumpkin for Clara.  Oh well. Next year!
