Ry is a firefighter this year. Grandma and Grandpa Johnson gave him this super costume for Christmas last year. It has stayed at their house where Ryan plays firefighting with grandpa on a regular basis. We decided to save a little money and use it as his Halloween costume plus it won't fit him next year so we are getting maximum use out of it.
#1 Night Eyes
Last Friday night, Ryan and I along with some friends went to Night Eyes at Blank Park Zoo in DM. We have not been to Night Eyes before so this was something new. It was successful! It had been raining on and off all day so the event was not packed with kids. The night before the event had record numbers of kids. In years past we have just gone to the Living History Farms Halloween Walk. Now that Ryan really "gets" trick or treating and dressing up we are going to both events in DM.
Ryan and Jack (Frankenstein)#2 Reiman Gardens: Spirits in the Garden
On Sunday, we went to Reiman Gardens with our playgroup. The kids walked around the gardens to gather candy from a bunch of different mascots. Reiman Gardens had a Halloween craft area for the kids, Ryan made me a bookmark. Other neat activities were a hay bale maze and Guess the Creepy Crawly. Each kid put their hand in a bag and had to guess what they were feeling - worms, cricket things, centipedes, etc. They earned a Halloween tattoo if they completed all the bags. Of course, Ryan did it all.
We got school pictures back today so I thought I would throw those in here. I am extremely happy with them. They captured Ry's natural smile which can be tough. Now I wish I would have ordered more than I did.
