Halloween 2011

We had a great halloween this year and were able to celebrate all month long. It was so fun. We went to the local pumpkin patch a few times. Ryland loved running through the hay maze, it never got old. Here he is with Thomas. We have had such awesome weather for October. It has been so nice to enjoy the outdoors in October, perfect weather!

4 of the 5 cousins born this last year. They are all getting so big! And yes Camden is almost as big as his two cousins born in July and October, both are now 1. Age has nothing on him though, he keeps up well!

The boy cousins. Thomas Ry and Zack, who Ryland faithfully calls Zackary.

Cam was all tuckered out after an hour or so. We had a great time!

We also were able to go trick or treating to our local recreation center. Ryland wore his little train conductor costume.

And Camden was a little bear.

They look pretty good as skeletons too!

They had a trick or treat lane and tons of fun games for the kids to play. Ryland loved playing all the games. He got a hole in one in the golf game, not bad for a 2 year old. Here is Ry doing the ring toss game.

We also went to the annual pumpkin walk with my family. It was amazing as always. This year was nice though because they changed how they traditionally do it and we didn't have to wait in line forever. It was a little cold, but the pumpkins were amazing as usual.

Ryland loved looking at all the pumpkins with his cousins. He got so excited over several of them.

They had this awesome snake pumpkin, loved that one!

Cam stayed nice and warm in his costume and with his blanket!

They also had a group of pumpkins riding on tracks as trains. Ryland watched those forever. He thought that was great....hence the train conductor costume, he loves trains!

They were pretty cool!

We warmed up back and James and Anns with hot chocolate and cookies! Thanks guys! Halloween was beautiful, high 60s and sunny. It was great. Ryland by the pumpkins we carved. Our neighbors are great and gave us all our pumpkins this year from their garden, including those 2 giant pumpkins. They were fun to enjoy all month!

Lance carved an amazing mickey mouse pumpkin. Ryland loved it! And who would have thought Lance was an amazing pumpkin carver free hand. He did great.

My attempt to get a picture with both boys failed big time. The pumpkin was much more entertaining!

The pumpkins at night!

We had a great halloween party at my moms sunday night and visited the other grandparents on halloween. He was spoiled as usual by all of them! Ryland was so excited to go out trick or treating that night. He loved wearing his glow sticks, carrying his bucket, and going house to house with Daddy. He loved saying trick or treat and happy halloween!

Cam had a good time hanging out with me handing out candy!

And Rylands treasures! He got a lot more this year than last year and was so excited about it!
