Halloween Madness

Halloween this year was just going with the flow. We didn't know what happened out here in Moab, but kept hearing about possibilities of what MIGHT be happening, so we just waited and watched and went :-) We heard from pretty much anyone we talked to that only 2 neighborhoods really do trick or treating, so that was kinda weird.

Tripp made a paper pumpkin to decorate one day.  Was the perfect decoration for our fridge!

This was our stash of Tripp safe, allergy free Halloween candy that we ordered from an online store. 

We got bored at the grocery store one day......

Halloween and orange.... Tripp's favorite.

Tripp was Ace Ventura Pet Detective for Halloween. Adults thought it was awesome, and had a good laugh, we got asked a few times by kids if he was a princess, Tripp was fine with either really, so it worked out well.  

We went to the annual "Pumpkin Chuckin Festival" it was a good time, small, lots of kids and fun. The first thing Tripp was drawn to was the live music, so we went over, sat on some hay, had a snack and listened to the music. Then we did some pumpkin decorating, played some games, and watched some pumpkins fly through the air. 

Played on more hay.... the higher the better. Best part was we brought home this hay in our tutu and put it through the house... mom LOVED that!

We got a balloon.... he picked on his own, an orange helicopter. 

We put him in the costume contest, he really had no clue what he was supposed to do, but was intrigued by all the weird things around him.... he basically stood on the stage just looking at us like, ok, now what? Then dad walked in and Tripp decided to have a conversation with dad clear across the audience... that was funny.  Totally oblivious that anything else was going on around him.

Got to go on a pony ride... well a horse ride.... He was pretty nervous at first but loved it.

Then we got to paint a pumpkin at home. Funny story about this pumpkin.... I took Tripp to the store to pick out his own pumpkin... there were a TON of orange pumpkins, favorite color right, you would think he would be in heaven, but he decided he wanted a white pumpkin, he was even very specific about which one, I had to pick out and put back about 10 before he found the perfect one that he wanted to call his own :)

On Halloween night, we got invited by our neighbor, Travis, to go to his families house a few neighborhoods over, to their Halloween party, they had dinner, lots of kids and then we all took the kids trick or treating, Tripp of course found 2 older girls to walk him around to all the houses and up to all the doors. Such a little stud. He did awesome and was out for a good 45 minutes or so, got lots of candy (to give to mom and dad haha).  What we do with Tripp and his allergies is let him trick or treat, but he has to put the candies right in the bag after he gets them, then when we get home, we have another bag of "Tripp Safe" candy and treats that he can have, and we trade. He loves it. Happy Halloween 2014 :-)
