Nolan had a great first Halloween. Cheyna & Abby joined us for a trip to Pensacola, as I had a doctors appointment in the AM. Cheyna was awesome and watched the kids while I had the appointment. Then we headed to Chili's for lunch and of course had to go to Target! Then we had some down time at Cheyna's, while the kids played on Abby's swingset and in the sand. Then we got them dressed in their costumes and headed to Orange Fest to meet the dads! Orange Fest was held at the same location we went Pumpkin Patching and was a bigger deal than we thought. They had a live band and food and also "Trunk or Treating." People from the community set up their vehicles, pop open their trunks and hand out candy to the kids. It was absolutely perfect for the age our kids are at, because it's all right in one place. It was also a treat to be able to see so many other kids costumes. It was a beautiful night, in the upper 60's and the atmosphere was just perfect.
Nolan was so excited he couldn't stand still. Brian and I took turns chasing him. The Trunk or Treating was on a slight downhill slope and he was RUNNING away from us. We tried to take his hand and he refused to let us hold it and was pushing us away. So we would chase, pick him up after a tumble, stand him up and off he went again. And as he was running he was babbling LOUDLY, and it kind of sounds like this "Bitty, Booty, Pretty, Boo!" Brian mimicks it perfect, but you get the idea :)
Here are some pictures of our awesome night, hope everyone elses was as special as ours!

How fun!! You guys look great!! Isn't it just too fun when they get that running thing down?? Well we missed you guys round here but looks like you had a blast!! My friend Melissa has talked about this trunk-or-treating for years..sounds like a ton on fun to me!! Just too darn cold here ...of course!
Awe!! How adorable!! I'm so glad you were able to get a pic of the kiddos sitting still. :) Ours (Tammi and mine) weren't having any of that! Hee Hee Cutie pie!!
Happy Halloween! A lobster! How fun! It reminds me of our trip to Balitmore. Temps around the 60's...no snow in WYO, but it was chilly. No trick or treaters out in Burns, so sad. I would definately give all my candy to Nolan.
Loved the crab custome (and matching hat for Mom OR Dad). I'll be in Miami next week-looking forward to some sun and warmth!
Did I say crab? I meant lobster...sorry...a little tired working 12-hour night shifts this week...LOVE my job!
Lovin' the Lobster Costume! Glag you all had a great Halloween
The chick and lobster look adorable together. Wish we had something like the trunk and treat here.
