Trick or Treat Street

P and I went to trick or treat street at the expo center this year. Inside the center is a huge circle of houses and business and a big graveyard in the middle. You go around the circle and the "owners" pass out candy. I wasn't sure what P would think but he was very polite and said "dank do" after each peice of candy he received. P loved the giant pumpkin in the middle and get wanting to go over and look and touch it. For those who can't tell what P is dressed up as, he is a skunk. He is mommy's "little stinker".

Haunted Boat Ride

My sister found this fun haunted boat ride that goes down the Provo river. The side of the river is lined with carved pumpkins, hallowen lights and ghosts. In the middle of the ride, a pirate jumps on board your boat and passes out candy for the kids. P mostly wanted to drive the boat but would ooh and aah everytime we would pass a pumpkin or ghost. Thanks for the fun idea Rach!


The Pirate

Pumpkins!

P has become so obsessed with everything Halloween! We walk down the street and he loves to look at everyones pumpkins, withches, scarecrows, lights anything that is either spooky, funny, or orange he loves! He's still a little small to carve pumpkins but Love and I thought it would be fun to take him to a pumpkin patch and have him pick out a little pumpkin for him to paint and put stickers on. The batteries were dead in my camera when we got to the pumpkin patch, but P was in heaven. He went to the biggest pumpkins and tried to lift them up to take home. Mom finally had to convince him to get just a small pumpkin to take home with us. While in the car and after we got home, P wouldn't let his "bauble" leave his side. It had to go in the bathtub with him and finally he fell asleep with it tucked under his arm. Here are some of the pictures. . .

Witch Hunt

Every Halloween P and I go to Gardner Village to look at the witches. P thought that they were real so he would wave and say hi, tell them something about what they were doing and then wave bye and blow kisses. It was so cute!!
P posing with the pumpkins which he calls "baubles" cause he thinks they are big apples.
P and me "sitting a spell" to visit with a witch.
I think this was P's favorite witch because you could see it a couple time as we walked around the village.

Fall is in the air

I thought it would be fun to go on a hike and look at all of the gorgeous fall colors, and a way for P to get out some of his energy. So we drove up big Cottonwood Canyon to hike up to donut falls (which I remembered as an easy hike pre P) well we didn't make it very far before P wanted to be carried and mom was huffing and puffing up the hill.
Fall is my favorite season. I love all of the changing colors, I just wish this picture could really do the colors justice!
P and me taking one last picture before heading home.

This is how far we made it up the hill from the parking lot.
