These are backwards as always... Here is a synopsis of pictures of our Halloween fun. Ash wanted to be a clown at the 1st part of September. We ordered it and then she changed her mind at least 5 more times. I didn't tell her I had the costume until she woke up from her nap on halloween day. She did not want the makeup or hair I purchased but she wore the hat and outfit and I was surprised at that. We all had a wonderful night having GG in town to celebrate with us and to share the activities with our neighbors. I can't believe Ash has already celebrated 4 halloweens - where is the time going?

The Austin Zoo

A monkey named Nikki

Drawing w/ Chalk

Tyler & Nikki came down for a wedding and we found time to squeeze in fun at the Austin Zoo and brunch at Nutty Brown. Ash kept them busy!

Lakeway Goblin Glow

Her 1st "highlight" - she wanted RED streaks in her hair!

Pretending to naw her way out of a spider web

Admiring the hot air balloons

Stilt Cowboy man who handed out candy- Ash did not receive any candy as she screamed if I went near him

We went to Lakeway for their Halloween trick or treat in the park. It was nice to see the water in Lake Travis was up a little bit from August but compared to a year ago when we had Ash's b-day party there, it was truly sad how desolate the lake looked. We ran around the park and they had 5 hot air balloons that would light up at the same time and they called it a "Goblin Glow". Creative!

Little Lounge Lizards Dance Party

Allison and her boys came to play with us while her husband worked in Austin. It was baby Bryson's 1st trip to A-town and it had been a year and a half since she and Evan had come to see us. We all had a wonderful time and loved it that Somer, Cortney and Kate could join us for some of the fun. Allison and I always take a million pics together through the years and now just was many of our kiddos! Can't wait to see them again at Christmas!
