Our Weekend

Sorry I'm late with the WORDS for this post! ;o) I accidentally posted it instead of saving it--Oops! Anyways, this weekend, Andy and I took Landon to "Boo in the Zoo". My sister, Nancy rode with us and my step-mom and baby brother, Ben, met us there. We thought it'd be a cute little event at the zoo with the animals all around us....but it turned out to be thousands of people in a HUGE line waiting to trick-or-treat. That's it...Just a big trick-or-treat line all night long. No animals were out, Landon couldn't even eat any of the candy he got (thanks to the lover-ly peanut allergy--Blah!), and everyone around us seemed to be SICK. (Come ON, people, it's just candy--keep the sicklings at home, poor little things!) Wouldn't you know it, now Landon and I are sick, too? Ha ha ha! It was cute to see Landon and Ben in their costumes together, though. They were adorable! Landon loved seeing all of the other kids' costumes, too. He kept yelling, "Mom, there's Spiderman! Hey it's Elmo, Mom! Look!"...almost like he thought it was all "real"--hee hee! And Nancy and Andy (the candy fiends) spent the whole night high-fiving each other every time they got something good in "Landon's" bag. Look for the picture at the end where I caught them hovering over the pile, bartering and negotiating with their treasure. I was cracking up! Anyways, these little holiday activities I remember loving as a kid haven't always been what I remembered, if you know what I mean...So, either the activities have changed since I was little--or these weird things are actually fun for kids. Food for thought! :o)
