Parade and Festival

Alex's school was having their Halloween parade today. Since Alex was wearing his costume to school, Zachary decided to wear his to music class. About half of the kids in music class were dressed up, they were all super cute! We went back to school, and Zachary ran into the classroom to line up for the parade. The kids started out marching, but towards the end, only Teacher Elizabeth was still attempting to march!

After the parade, the kids handed out trick or treats to all of their friends, and Teacher Renate let them all pick one treat to enjoy before heading home. We took lunch to Daddy at work and visited his co-workers. Alex was so excited to show off his costume, he ran up to two ladies in uniform outside of Phil's building and told them "I'm a giraffe!" They were properly impressed. Later in the afternoon, we went back to the Island for the fall festival. The boys didn't want to go into the haunted house, but they did try out the jumpy house and had hot dogs and Halloween candy. We were going to try out the hayride, but they were waiting for dark to start running it. Apparently it was supposed to be a scary hayride.


And since we failed to remember our camera for Boo at the Zoo, I'll just make a note of it in this post. On Saturday the boys wore their costumes to the zoo and participated in the scavenger hunt. There were 5 clues, and they had to find the animal that the clues described. After they visited all 5 stations, they got a goody bag. So, while I actually remembered to go to Boo at the Zoo this year, I forgot the camera. Next year, next year.
