Halloween Fun 2011

Holidays just keep getting more and more fun, the more Sam understands.  I love how he brings the magic back into holiday traditions that had lost their flair.  We took him to Boo at the Zoo for his third annual trip.

Scooby Doo at Boo at the Zoo!

A must stop, the lion den

There were a bunch of stations in the main grassy area.  One was dancing... here is Scooby jump jump jumping!

Though hard to see, Sam got to colour a marshmallow.  Big hit, big big hit!

My boys... I love them.  Sam has this super exaggerated smile... silly!

Auntie Angie stopped by and we made candy apples together.  A MUST as a new Halloween tradition.  Honestly, I might work them into every single holiday!

Time to enjoy!

When I saw this photo, I knew I had to post it.  It seems Sam got his exaggerated smile from me.  Just good genes, I guess.  Exact example of why I'm usually on the other side of the camera.

Parker stopped for a treat.  They decided to pose behind the bush.  Funny kids!

First ever trick or treat adventure.  With the guidance of Lincoln, Sam got the hang of it.  These two were super cute.

Taste testing his goodies.  What a fun fun night!

One of my favourite moments was when Sam turned around on the neighbours deck to tell me "Mom, I said you're welcome!"  Trying very hard to be polite, but we just don't quite have the hang of it yet!  We told him to know loud on the door, so he went up and with the softest knock yelled "BANG BANG BANG, knock loud!"  Love this guy!
