Halloween Fun For Everyone!

Hey Everyone!  Ellen Here!

We have been so busy having Halloween fun these past few weeks, we haven't had time for much else.  

None the less, we made time this weekend to see my cousin Tyler race in his last high school mountain bike race.  We didn't get any pictures because he was pretty smelly, but we had a great time running around outside and cheering him on.  

Saturday was the annual Trick or Treat Trail in Owatonna, and it did not disappoint.  They moved it to a new park this year and it was great!  There were bounce houses, candy and all kinds of fun.

I think my favorite part was the train ride, Linden's favorite was the scavenger hunt through the woods.  My least favorite part?  Having to wear a costume, I am not sure what Mama was thinking when she decided that I should be a ladybug.

We spent a ton of time this weekend playing games.  I really like Honeybee Tree, Linden really likes making up new games.

Because we haven't posted in a while I am going to tell you about last weekend too.  We started out at Daddy's work Halloween party where we got to play games, decorate pumpkins, and eat cookies!  I look happy to be wearing my costume, but really Mama told me that I had to take one picture and then I could take it off...which I promptly did.

After Daddy's work party we went to the Minnesota Zoo for HalZOOween!  They had tons of fun activities for Halloween.  We got to pet a crawly caterpillar...

And there was a band playing fun Halloween music for us to dance to.

It was a beautiful day so we played and played at the new naturescape park they added.

Mama and Daddy decided that the fun didn't need to be done, so we went to the Mall of America for some legos, shopping, and more fun!  Linden is big enough to go on the roller coaster, she keeps telling me it is fun but I don't know about that..maybe when I am bigger.

Winter is just around the corner so the mall had a winter sport expo going on.  Burton was there and they had a tiny snowboard for me to try out!  It took Daddy a little convincing to get me to wear the helmet, but once I agreed to put that on I had a great time!  So much fun that I cried when it was time to be done.

We got a really fun medal and a picture of us on our board.  It was great!

We carved pumpkins this weekend, too, but I am going to save that for another blog post.  I am sure there will be more Halloween fun tomorrow.
