Zoo Boo :)

What a fun Saturday in the Nelson household. We started the day off by just hanging out at home with Emma and having some hard core playtime, as well as catching up with things around the house.

Emma was nothing but giggles and squeals and had a great morning. After a 2 hour nap, we decided to head out to a park near our house where they were having a "Trunk or Treat" gathering. It's basically what it sounds like, there were vehicles parked in the park, and you could go around and Trick or treat out of their trunks. It was basically just a community gathering type thing.

Emma doesn't really know what to think about all this Halloween stuff. She doesn't like getting her Halloween costume on (it's a ladybug this year), but once it's on it doesn't really bother her. She got a little overwhelmed by all the people and activity today when we were out and about, but overall she did really well.

And of course we had some picture time at home in between out outings:

Have you seen a cuter ladybug??

Someone LOVES Halloween :)

The weather was actually pretty nice today. It was only about 44 degrees out, but the sun was shining and it wasn't too windy, so it was a pretty nice day.

We went to the Zoo Boo after Trunk or treating, and we had a good time. The zoo hosts a trick or treating outing where there is a path to follow and they have staff members handing out candy. They also have all sorts of Halloween decorations, Jack-o-laterns, and of course some animals to see along the way.

It would have been more fun at dark to see all the pumpkins and lights lit up, but with Emma, we felt like we had to go during the day. It got a little chilly towards the end, but it was really fun and we plan to do it again next year!

So, now Emma is napping. She was SO tired when we got home. She's been asleep for a little over an hour. I hope she sleeps tonight!! Apparently we wore her out :)

We had a fun, busy Saturday, and tomorrow we are heading to Brookings to celebrate Grandma Erma's 92nd Birthday. It will be nice to see family that we don't get to visit with very often. Hopefully Emma handles it well and isn't too shy.

Right now, I am relaxing and watching Hocus Pocus in the background while I blog. It is definitely Halloween season, and I love it!! I can't believe Halloween is this week, and October is almost over. However, we still have Thanksgiving and Christmas season to look forward to.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!
