Boo at the Zoo

I love Halloween.  It keeps us so busy.  We took the kids to Boo at the Zoo last weekend and it was fun.  I was worried that it wold be too cold or wet since it rained all day, but by the time we needed to leave it had warmed up and the sun was even out.  Stevie even managed to walk most of the time at the zoo.  I think Daddy had a good time too, but who can go wrong with a ton of candy.

So too keep up with our theme last weekend, we hit our pumpkin patch too.  Stevie was able to do more of the activites this year.  He really wanted to do the slide again, but that line got so long.  He picked out the perfect pumpkin for us to carve, so we will get that done soon.  He got to ride the train and climb on the hay stack and of course the pony ride.  Poor Abbie got to watch from her stroller, but there is always next year.

Big milestone though, was Abbie said Mama on Octobe 14th.  This month she has learned to wave and sit up on her own.  She is kind of scooting backwards, but it is mainly to sit up.  I saw her doing that about a week ago.  She even learned to give Daddy a "five" on Tuesday.  Still not crawling though.  she had her own way to get around.
