A Kansas City Halloween

This past weekend we went to Kansas City for our big Halloween weekend.

On the agenda was:
  • a ride on the Haunted Train in Baldwin
  • a trip to the Night of the Living Farm at the Deanna Rose Farm
  • a KU football game for Lucas and Uncle Dave
  • lots and lots of time spent playing outside.

What we learned over the weekend:

  • even when Henry is terrified, he puts on a brave face and forges on (we all feel bad about having a hand in scaring him)
  • Lucas still gets horribly quiet and shy when he is super excited (the football game)
  • It's really hard to drag Josh off of a dance floor
  • Eli is not a fan of haunted houses
  • Josh Oliver has learned that if he takes toys to the basement to play with them, he won't have to share with Eli
  • Lucas is one of the best marshmallow roasters, but will not eat them
  • Potty training and Aunt Amy's house is not a good combination
  • Flashlights and scavenger hunts is one of the funnest things EVER for my boys

It was a fabulous weekend--probably one of our best ever! I love October and everything that comes with it!
