We really enjoyed Barrett's first Halloween! On Friday, we went out to the Halloween party at the base, where the kids could trick or treat in all the flight rooms and then participate in the carnival set up outside. Barrett, Grandpa Kinley, and I all went out and had a great time!
Here's Barrett all ready to go!
(Look how much bigger he is in his carseat now, compared to just a month and a half ago.
No more head support needed, and we've had to loosen the straps too!!)
We wandered around the squadron to see all the decorations, but Barrett didn't want any candy. So we headed outside to the carnival where we...
...stopped to take a picture with a scarecrow...
...pretended to be a pilot just like Daddy...
...painted a pumpkin...
...wrote the letter "B" on our pumpkin...
...bobbed for apples...
...and then took a quick nap in Daddy's office!!
My sweet pumpkin had a great time!!
BUT...the celebration wasn't over yet!! On Monday (Halloween) afternoon, our friend Noel, Barrett, and I all went back to the pumpkin patch and discovered that there was a fall festival across the street! So, of course, we had to go...
This time, Barrett got to throw a football through a hoop...
...play in the water in the duck pond...
...and catch a duck to win a prize!!
Here we are with our prizes - a lollipop and a pair of cool sunglasses!
He loved that lollipop - he held onto that thing for a while!
A sweet picture with my cute little skeleton... I think he might even be smiling in this picture!
Another precious picture with my sweet baby!
After the pumpkin patch, we went back home, loaded up the stroller, leashed the dogs, and headed out into the streets for some "trick or treating". Really, it was just a great excuse to walk the dogs and check out all the cute costumes that were running around. We ran into several friends and had a great time. Barrett slept for about twenty minutes, and then he stayed awake, alert, and happy for the rest of our two hour walk. He fell asleep right away when we got back home, though! Overall, it was a really fun Halloween weekend.
And now, it's officially FALL!!!
