halloween fun...part I

halloween is kind of a big deal in our house.  it's even more fun now that lily understands what is going on.  the goal for lily's halloween costume(s) this year is just whatever she pulls out of her dress-up box for the day.  easy-peasy.  today's costume?  katerina kitty-cat (from daniel tiger).

we started the day out at the oakland zoo for a little "boo at the zoo" trick-or-treating.  it was so fun to run around the zoo, finding the clues and then heading to adventure land for a couple rides and to get the goody-bag.  this needs to become a yearly tradition.

after the zoo we headed to the ward's halloween party, which was held at a members ranch, just outside of town limits.  there was trunk-or-treating, carnival games, chili cook-off, nachos, hot dogs, and a movie on the big screen set up in the front yard.  it was such a fun night.  lily loved palling around with her little friend, evie, and those two girls together just make me smile.
