Halloween Happenings

I'm not a huge fan of Halloween, but I do love activities with my kids.  I'm lucky to live in an area where there are so many awesome activities and events geared towards kids. 

Storytime at the Library

Thursday, October 24th our local library had a Halloween Storytime event.  The kids listened to a few books, danced, and participated in some interactive stories.  It was fun.  Yes...those are their pj's under their costumes.  The event started at 7pm so we had baths and were in our pj's first. 

Saturday Morning- Annemarie Gardens Trick or Treating. 
Annemarie gardens is widely known in Southern MD for their "Fairy Houses".  They also do a trick or treating event every year.  This was the first year we went.  They had tables set up throughout the nature trail with various local vendors who handed out information and candy.  The kids loved it.  I did not.  It was crowded.  It took over an hour to get in and people were everywhere.  But...the kids had fun and that's really what matters.

I'm rarely in pictures, but a nice Mom offered to take this of me and the kids on the way in.

We broke down and got this Dusty costume for Pax since he is so obsessed with Planes. 

There were a few random characters dressed up.  My kids loved them!

This was after.  We were exhausted.

Saturday Afternoon:  Boo Bash

Saturday from 3-5 we went to Boo Bash at the Beach.  This is where kids trick or treat at the local businesses.  They also had a costume contest- which we did not enter. 

I love it when they hold hands. 

Yes, Mia changed costumes between activities.  Good thing we have a dress up bin full of costumes!
