Trick or Treating at Great Grandma and Great Grandpa's House

10/30/11

We took Owen to trick or treat at my grandparents house today.  Since Halloween is on Monday, Chloe came into town today to do her trick or treating.  We decided to have both babies get dressed up and trick or treat together at their great grandparents house.  Chloe and Owen were a lot of fun to watch run around.

On Saturday night we went to MSU's hockey game against Robert Morris.  We shared a suite with a family that the hockey team adopted.  Owen loved watching the hockey game and playing with the other kids.

Family Fun Night- Trick or Treating @ Union Street

10/26/11

Owen's school had a family fun night tonight.  They offered trick or treating, crafts, activities, and opened their gym.  Owen didn't care about trick or treating, but he did love feeling the corn and throwing the bean bag at the pumpkin bean bag toss.  He ran like a wild child through the gym with his best friend Noah and his other friends from school.  He sure is the cutest Kermit.  "It isn't easy being green!"

Boo at the Zoo

10/23/11

On Sunday we took Owen to Potter Park Zoo for "Boo at the Zoo."  We dressed him in a skeleton outfit Allison bought him and put part of his Halloween costume, Kermit, over it.  We met the Andersons and the Looks for a fun filled afternoon.  The kids absolutely loved running around the zoo, and it was a beautiful day.
