Friday of Our Fun Filled Weekend

Friday afternoon we got dressed up and headed for Manor Care this has become a tradition to go to the nursing home trick or treating. The kids seem to like it and the residents love it. After they finish trick or treating they always have a snack and a drink. 

 This year Matt was able to go with us which even made it that much more fun.

 Then we head to Gardner Village which is also a yearly tradition. We met up with the rest of the family and enjoyed looking at the witches and through the shops. We made the mistake of going on witches night out weekend and we wont do that again it was really busy which made it hard to really enjoy it.

 The dance stage with the Halloween music. I have been learning to let go and have fun with the kids and look silly even in public. What makes it even "better" is Matt has been capturing most of these moments.

 The cool witches are the highlight although this year we missed the witch riding her bike suspended in the air but maybe next year.

 The we took a break from the crowds and fed the ducks the kids always think that is really cool when the ducks pretty much come right up to you and eat whatever snack you have to share.

 I think this year the quilt shop was the favorite or at least it was mine. When we came upon this bed pictured below Hallie was immediately in love with it. She told my mom that when we build our house and I get a bigger kitchen that she wanted her bedroom to look just like this. I guess we will have to work on that.

 Here is the majority of the group minus mom and grandma harri's that were still looking in the quilt shop

 Then before heading to dinner each of the kids took a turn ringing the bell....they all thought that was cool

The we headed back to Kimbers to eat dinner and celebrate all our Oct birthdays. We had delicious soup, bread sticks, cake, and ice cream. We all brought a part to contribute it worked out really well. Nic made the cake and was very proud of her decor this is the 1st time she has ever decorated a cake.

After dinner the adults visited and made plans for Saturday while the older kids watch Tangled on Kimbers bed. I love how much they love each other.

Then we all headed for a late night drive home for a couple hours of sleep before getting together and doing it all again.
