Halloween

Dillon was all over Halloween this year. Previously, he had thrown a fit every time I tried to put his overalls and hat on (train conductor costume). However, when it came to the real-deal-candy-getting-time, he didn't utter a complaint and did what had to be done - wear the costume. We went to my brother Kade's house and trick-or-treated with his kids as well as my brother Ladd's. Dillon didn't miss a beat stepping up and getting his candy. However, instead of saying trick-or-treat, he gave everyone a "choo-choo" as any good train conductor would.

We went truck-or-treating the night before Halloween, which gave him some good practice and got him into the mode.

A couple of weekends before Halloween we took Dillon to Gardner Village to see the witches and go to the petting-zoo. He thought the witches were okay, but he was all over the petting-zoo. Each animal got a pet on the head, multiple times, and was also told what sound they made (sheep - a loud "Baa").

I think that I enjoyed the witches more than Dillon did.

The weekend before Halloween, we went to the American Heritage Center (in Logan) with my brother Ladd's family. We had fun with all their Halloween activities. Dillon of course was all about their train and had to ride it multiple times.
