Pre-Halloween Celebrations

Here we are the last week of October and Will has already worn his halloween costume and gone "trick-or-treating" two times. In the middle of the month we attended Spooktacular which is an event that the City of Dublin puts on each year. It was REALLY COLD that day (had rained all morning), so luckily Will's costume was WARM :) His favorite part was the hay ride where we sat front row on the wagon that was pulled by a TRACTOR (one of Will's favorite vehicles)!

This past weekend, we attended Boo at the Zoo. Even without the costume and trick-or-treat part, visiting the Columbus Zoo is always fun! During this visit, Will rode a pony, "chased" the goats around the petting zoo, rode the merry-go-round and watched Animals on Safari. We did walk around and look at the animals, but this visit seemed a little more centered around "new and exciting stuff". We were hoping to ride the train, but it wasn't running while we were there (maybe next time)!

Dressed for Spooktacular!
