Halloween Festivities

So the last couple of days have been fun filled with all our HaLLoWEen Traditions! Saturday we went to Boo at the Zoo. This is a really fun thing they do at the zoo here in Louisville. They turn the place into a big Halloween party. They have different areas all decked out in themes such as Petter Pan, Sherk, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Jurassic Park, etc. Each place has the characters and a booth to collect candy. Mason loved dressing up in his Incredibles costume and getting all the candy. On Saturday morning I told him that we would go to the zoo and he could dress in his costume after naptime. He said, "Mom I sooo Happy!!" And he had the biggest grin on his face. He was so excited that he couldn't even take a nap and ended up falling asleep on the car ride over. We had to wake him up once we got into the zoo. So he is a little out of it in the pictures, but what can you do?

Monday we carved pumpkins which was really fun, the pictures say it all...

Tonight we made our traditional caramel apples. We are getting quite efficient at making these. We have done it every year since we have been married and this year went pretty smooth. No major catastrophes, even with a 2 year old. The caramel didn't burn, neither did the chocolate. The crushed candy bar stayed in place, and the caramel didn't run to much. and we did it all in record time!!

the Finished Product!! Yum Yum!!!
