Spooks are on the prowl!

| October 14, 2013

Halloween is almost here and Sam has been really excited. She loved Halloween last year, but this is the most excited about the holiday I have ever seen her.  There is a house near us that has a crazy, elaborate display of decorations that Mark and I thought she would like. Last night, we put her in her pajamas, waited for it to get dark, then walked her down the road the 10 minutes or so to the house.  As we walked down the street and she could see the lights, she got more and more excited.

We had taken Sam in the stroller since it was dark and a little walk, and her face with its look of wonder was fantastic.

The house really goes all out – you would think it was Christmas with all the decorations!

It was a perfect display to take kids to see. Lots of spooky decorations, but nothing truly scary. There were lots of families there with their kids that night.

Eventually, Sam couldn’t resist getting out of the stroller to get a closer look.

She loved the cat the most, I think.

This is such a great face – she looks like, “Eek!!”

For some reason, when we wanted her to pose, she kept insisting on doing so by this tree. It got quite a few hugs.

It was a bit late when Sam got home to bed, but it was worth it.  She loved seeing the display, and no nightmares! Perfect!
