Hallo-Zoo-Ween

On Halloween we had great weather it was in the low 70's all day and then was in the high 50's that night. I was excited for the great weather as we were taking the girls to the zoo for trick or treating. Trick or treating isn't as much fun if you don't have some friends to go with. My good friend Stefanie and two kids Braeden and Lydia came along as well as some new friends Todd and Sheila and their two kids Candi and Cole. all of our kids are the same ages so they had fun hanging out together. Before we headed to the zoo we made a stop by Braeden and Lydia's dad's job to trick or treat. Their dad, Jeremy, is a fireman and had to work on Halloween so we got to stop by the firehouse for a little while. The kids loved it. Jeremy gave us all a tour and let the kids play on the fire truck, ambulance and other vehicles. It was even a little exciting for them as they got a call when we were there, so the alarms went off and they heard a lady over the speakers tell them all the info. It was only an ambulance call so Jeremy didn't have to run off but the kids got to see the guys leave in the ambulance and they turned on the sirens for them and gave them a little show.

Gabriella (from High School Musical) and Little Red Riding Hood. Bree decided on Halloween that she wanted to dress up. This whole month it was no...they scare me. But once I mentioned Lydia was going to dress up she was all for it so, this was the only one she would agree to wear.

All excited to get their first round of candy at the fire house.

Katie, Candi, Braeden and Lydia... checking out their new wheels. Cole and Bree were not at all interested in playing on this one.

Watch out....firewoman Katie to the rescue

An attempt to get a family photo at the indoor hay maze....but my lovely camera decided to start acting up and so this pic and some others are kind of dark.
