Boo! Happy Halloween!

Before the Halloween festivities kicked off, we had a lovely family outing to Wilson Farms to pick out our pumpkins, sample some apple treats and visit the farm llama, chickens and pigs.

Pierce had a 3 day Halloween celebration, starting on Friday at his Day Care parade. We got some cute shots of our little giraffe hanging around the house with Halsey, and one from him on parade.

Saturday kicked off with the Winchester town parade which brought the kids from the library to the town green. The last Farmer's Market of the season was going on on the green, so there were lots of people to admire the costumes, and booths handing out treats to the kids. There was also a band playing Halloween tunes which set the mood for the event. Local stores held trick-or-treating, so the littlest kids in town got some treats during daylight hours. Pierce loved seeing all of the "big" kids dressed up, and was tempted to give lots of hugs to the dressed up dogs and princesses. Later that morning, we went to Jelly Jams in costume, where Pierce really worked up a sweat and had to take a break from the full giraffe.
On Halloween, Pierce gladly put on his giraffe costume for one more afternoon playing in the leaves and modeling for Marmie, Papa and Darcy and our neighbors. Good thing he loved the costume! He sampled a little bit of candy (3 Muskateers) and got 2 new teeth over the weekend. Overall, it was a great 2nd Halloween as a family!
