Halloween!

Here are a few highlights from our Halloween season.

We spent a morning at the Del Mar Pumpkin Station. 
 Reece enjoyed looking at the pumpkins until he saw all of the rides outside the tent!
The quarter-operated cars were his favorite!
 He sat in the wheelbarrow just long enough for this picture.
As you can see he was eyeing the choo-choo train!
Reece hesitated on the carousel at first, so Aaron sat with him in a seat.  They moved to a horse before the ride started.  Reece also rode the train and checked out the goats.  After an hour or so we picked out a pumpkin and headed home.
 Ready to carve our jack-o-lantern!
 Elle even joined in on the fun!
Ta-da!
 Posing before we head out to trick-or-treat on Orange Avenue.  Reece was a doctor and Elle was a ladybug.
We kept Reece in the stroller at first.  He didn't know what to think in the beginning, but then after receiving his first lollipop he was ready for more!
 The sidewalk was packed!
Once we got towards the end of the craziness we let Reece trick-or-treat on foot.  He had a blast!  He was so excited that instead of letting people put the candy in his jack-o-lantern he would grab it and head to the next person. We made him return and say "thank you" each time.  It was so much fun to watch him!
We stopped by Mike and Priscilla's after.  Elle decided to wake up and enjoy the festivities for a while!
