Halloween
Ah, Halloween. This year, Kayleigh dressed up as a unicorn while Laurel was a “My Little Pony”. chele manged to find a unicorn costume at the store but had to make the MLP costume.
There are lots of events around St. Louis for the kids. Friday we took them to downtown St. Charles, where all the merchants hand out candy and treats for the kids. Saturday morning was the “Boo at the Zoo”, which in the past had been a lot of fun for the kids. This year was an absolute disaster. The event has grown way beyond what the Zoo and Forest Park can handle. We drove around for 20 minutes before stumbling across someone leaving. Once inside, the lines were another 20-30 minutes long to see or do any of the activities. We turned around and left without seeing anything. I think next year we’ll skip it.
Sunday afternoon we went to an assisted living facility for some trick-or-treating. The residents get a kick out of seeing the kids in costumes, and handing out candy. Although it wasn’t very long the girls enjoyed it.
