Halloween and Stuff

We went the aquarium because they were having free admission for kids that were dressed up. Ryan loved it and can be seen in these pictures looking for the sharks. He told me before we went that "sharks are mean and they bite you, but dolphins are nice." I'm not really sure where he got that from. But he was really excited to see a shark.



Jake loved looking up and seeing the fish above him.

Finally we got to the shark tank. This is where they have all the smaller sharks and then the huge whale sharks. He was satisfied with the shark viewing. Though interestingly, he seemed to like the beluga's the best, because he kept running off to go back and see them. Picture me, carrying Jake running after him through the aquarium. Fun.


Then we carved pumpkins on Friday. He loved that too. He liked the guts and wanted to eat it. Badly.







The finished product. It is actually dark outside in this picture but the flash made it seem bright as day.
On Saturday we went to the ward trunk or treat at the tree farm. Ryan loved getting candy from people but was more obsessed with the fire pit. Jake was dressed up as a skunk and was very good natured about wearing his costume! Ryan was a cowboy and loved all the accessories that his costume had. (a map, a canteen, a badge, a hat, etc.) So he has still been enjoying wearing it and is trying to figure out how to get more candy when he puts in on ;)









And for the costume contest at the office (those regular readers are familiar). Tami and I won, yet again, with our excellent insurance mascot costumes! Woohoo!

I thought I commented on this a while ago. That skunk baby is so cute. And I'm surprised your boy wanted to see a shark. That would freak me out. Your progressive costume is great.
