Pumpkins & "Costumes"

Wow, what an amazing weekend with amazing weather!  Near 70s at the end of October is a gift to Chicago-ans anticipating winter weather around the corner. This weekend we had a couple of Halloween celebrations to attend; one being a Halloween parade at the near by pre-school.  I knew Mason would love it or want nothing to do with it; however with endless Dora's Halloween Parade episodes under our belt I was somewhat hopeful.  Mason being Mason wanted nothing to do with putting on his costume (a fireman coat) and was more interested in riding the elevator up and down. Surprisingly, he participated in the parade and walked around the gym with all the other kids in their Halloween costumes.  He then did a full on permanent exit when reaching the door out of the gym. Ha ha so much for that Halloween party.

Sunday at the Ruth Lake Pumpkin Patch was a different story.  Mason LOVED watching the hay ride taking the kids around.  He even wanted to get on the hay ride and try it out himself which he fully enjoyed.  We still weren't able to get him to put his fireman coat on but that's ok with me.  The entertainment dressed as pirates was also a big hit.  Pretty sure I don't need to say more:

Loved Playing on the Golf Cart.

Family Hay Ride!
