Miles' first Halloween season turned out to be a fairly busy one. We had lots of fun with our friends - but steered clear of most of the candy. Miles still has no teeth so we didn't want to rot the ones that weren't there - ha!
Because of the way I have uploaded the pictures, I will start from the last "event" and go backwards:
1. Halloween night - Miles went from his PJs to his costume around 6pm and we headed next door after receiving our first trick-or-treaters. Miles was dressed as safari baby, complete with tiger and giraffe. (Thanks Uncle Sam for the costume!) We visited with our cool neighbors at Mabel's House (You have to click the link and see our neighbor dressed up as the Yeti. You would think it would scare Miles to see a big white hairy monkey-like creature but he thought he was quite friendly.)
2. Fall Fest at Lake Nixon: The sunday before Halloween our church has a big fall festival at Lake Nixon (our summer day camp) every year. There were games, hayrides, a chili supper and trunk or treat. Here Miles is with his buddy Sam and Mr. Ron. (He is very good at holding babies.) Miles also took his picture with his friends in their costumes - Sam was a duck (or chick- its questionable), Scarlett was a loaf of wonder bread, and Miles was Safari baby. (Thanks Kathy for the picture.)
3. Boo at the Zoo: Saturday night before Halloween we were looking for something fun to do after waxing our hardwood floors all day. We called our friends and ended up going with them to a big Halloween event here in town at the zoo. We didn't know that the animals weren't part of the event - it was just halloween decorations, carnie rides, haunted houses, and candy - most of which Miles nor our friend could partake in. So we walked around visiting and looking at all the kids in costumes. My favorite was one little boy who was dressed as old-school nintendo Luigi. We also saw a kid whose mom got very creative and turned him into a bird feeder. Miles did not dress up as Safari baby for this event, but rather donned his Trick or Treat sweats, and a hat. The weather was quite chilly.
