Halloween

Halloween was full of fun this year.

We were pleased to have a Clone Trooper,

Supergirl,

Superbaby,

and Peter Pan to take out for the night.

Our neighborhood is a little on the dull side for trick or treating. About 1 in 4 houses actually answer the door and after feeling rejected 3/4 of the time for the past two years we decided to try something different.

At Dolphin Stadium an annual Fall Festival is held on Halloween night for a safe and fun Halloween. It had a small cover charge, but we felt it was worth it for the huge carnival complete with complimentary refreshments, and lots of candy. It was a really nice option, though we seemed to not be the only ones in South Florida attending. IT WAS PACKED! We stood in lines longer than any line we have stood in at Disney World over the past two years. No wonder no one answers the doors, they must all be frequent attendees of this carnival.

But the kids received ample amounts of candy and we were able to ride a couple things before the night was over.

The only draw back we found was the candy was a little too easy to get. The kids actually felt as though they didn't get to trick or treat enough because we only had to go to two places at the carnival for candy and they each walked away with a pumpkin full. To try to appease them we stop at a friends house on the way home and they knock on a couple doors. This was definitely one Halloween we will not soon forget!

Carving Pumpkins with the kids. Jacob actually carved his pumpkin by himself for the first time this year!
