We Love Halloween in Vegas!

Halloween is so fun here because not only is the weather great, but it's a two week long event where you get to dress up and get candy at least 4 times!

Here's what we did this year....

I went to Max's school to help host a Halloween party for his class.

Patrice came to visit and we took her to feed the enormous, gross fish at Lake Mead.

The kids love it every time!

Neil and Ellie

Payton and Patrice

We went to the Pumpkin Patch twice!

Our ward's Trunk or Treat was earlier in the week.

Max and I went to a Halloween party at the Clark Co Museum

Yoda Max fighting the Emperor

Gypsy Ellie (unfortunately I forgot to put on her beauty mole!)

Flapper Payton (who several people commented on what a cute little Indian she was!)

On Halloween day/night we went trick or treating at the Mall which was so crowded, after that we tried a second location but it was even more crowded so we skipped it. We did a few streets of houses and the kids got lots of candy! Ellie tired out about the same time I did, but Payton was so funny...she'd walk right up to people about an inch from them to get candy and then stand there even after they put the candy in her bucket. Then she'd march right to the next house. She was in heaven! Then we came home to hand out our least favorite candy to trick or treaters (which is almost as fun as trick or treating itself). Of course we've all been eating candy non-stop for the last week! We love visitors,

so if you want to come experience a Nevada Halloween...there's always next year!

SPOKANE!

We had so much fun visiting Spokane again (at the beginning of October). We went to the park, took a ride on the boat, made spooky gingerbread houses with Lisa, played the Wii a lot!, read books with grandma and grandpa, and got spoiled spoiled spoiled by everyone!

September Recap!

So I didn't really post in September because well, we were BUSY! We had a pretty fun month though and did lots of things. Here's the recap (not in any particular order)...

Neil went with his BFF, Craig, to an LA Dodgers game mainly because Neil found these $25 all you can eat tickets. Yes, that's the seat and all you can eat hot dogs, nachos, peanuts, popcorn, soda, and water for $25. They did take Max and Craig's two kids and surprisingly no one threw up! Neil did a very bad job of taking pictures, this is the only one with someone we know in it...that's Craig's face on the very left. Now at least our family can know what Neil's bromance looks like.

We took a little trip to Lake Mead and the beach with some friends. Max loved it!

But the girls not so much!

We also had a little playgroup at our house.

See the next post for more!

September Recap cont.

Here's more of what we did in September...

If you need a reason to visit Vegas in the summer it's the Big Horn Sheep that roam around a park here! I took this picture from the car window about 10 feet away. The kids love to stop and watch. We usually don't get out of the car!

We took a tour of the Anderson Dairy. We liked the free ice cream best!

Max and his awesome balloon from TJ's birthday party.

Grandma and Grandpa Woolf came to visit at the beginning of the month and we had lots of fun as always!

This picture is up on Mt. Charleston.
