Halloween and Other Spooky Events

by Jean.

Happy Halloween from Spooky Louisiana! We were entertained this last week by a visit from my parents, and they were entertained by lots of small child Halloween activities, including a trip to the zoo, the state fair, 2 halloween parties, and trick or treating. AND we worked on potty training.... it was a busy week.

The zoo had lots of spooky decorations up, and this was Adam's favorite. He probably liked it better than any of the animals! The State Fair of Louisiana takes place in Shreveport, and it was a lovely event. Lots of music, activities, and animals - a small child paradise!

There was even a circus at the fair, with a great show, and their circus animals were available to feed. Adam was pretty impressed with feeding the giraffe - the long black tongue was great!

We went back to my favorite pumpkin patch with the whole family, and Adam got to do more hay rides, train rides, etc. Grandma and Grandpa entertained themselves by picking up pecans, which we then spent hours shelling at home!

Our gym had a kids party, which was fun, but mostly consisted of handing out candy and cookies to the kids. This gym amazes me with their "feed the kids lots of sugar and junk" attitude.

We don't have pictures from the library, but we headed over to the library after the gym, and they had a great bunch of games and sugar free prizes (toy snakes, witch fingers, etc) for the kids. It was great!

Adam went Trick or Treating with some other kids in the neighborhood, and then has forgotten all about the candy he collected - that is the best way to do Halloween!
