Halloween 2010


Here are some fun pics of the little elephant at what has become a fun family tradition---Pumpkin Patch at Calvary Baptist---where we decorated cookies, played carnival games, ran around in the glow-room, bounced like crazy in the bounce castle, trick-or treated to our heart's content, saw some unique animals at the petting zoo, had a fun hay-ride down the streets of Roseville, and ate, for the first time, cotton candy! (The trunk needed to be removed for eating---perhaps the only flaw in the disguise; otherwise he made a pretty convincing elephant:) What a smashing hit that was---both for the elephant and the little black cat! We had so much fun, and this year we were able to meet up with lots of good friends:) These two (pictured below) are something else---running continuous laps around the petting zoo---but they bring their parents so much joy!The elephant costume was the perfect thing for a chilly Halloween night and a long hayride under the stars:)!

I sure got a chuckle out of the picture of the boys being held in one spot by their fathers! Looks like lots of fun!

We had to hold them to keep them in one place long enough to get a picture! They are so speedy!
