Pre-Halloween Fun

We've had a big weekend, taking advantage of all the fun Halloween activities.

Here is our friendly, nice witch and her black cat.

On Saturday morning, we ventured out to the Houston ArBOOretum.  It was set up really nice, with educational stops about animals with activity stations.  Madeline had a ton of fun exploring everything.

Climbing through the wolf spider tunnel

Catching her insects in the lizard challenge

Playing ballerina witch on the boardwalk

Gliding like a flying squirrel

All aboard the choo-choo!

There was a decorate-a-pumpkin station where she let her creativity flow (with a bit of help from dad)

The perfect pumpkin

Picture perfect day!

Today, we ventured out to Zoo Boo, and it turned out to be a beautiful day.

We finished the weekend with a little pumpkin carving.

As it turns out, pumpkin may have been my first food!
