We woke up Halloween morning to rain! Our little, quaint town of Holly Springs was having its annual Holly Fest and we were going, rain or shine. Thankfully by the time we got there it was more shine than rain. Riley checked out the petting zoo, saw a puppet show, went down the slide (twice), chased the Chick Fil-a cow and went on her first ride! The ride was like a small version of Dumbo and we weren't sure if she would ride it by herself. She was one of the youngest and many children were crying once there parents but them in the car. She was a champ like always and rode like a big girl. After it was done she asked for more she loved it so much!
After the festival we went home, ate lunch and rested before our Halloween Cul-da-sac Party. Everyone in our cul-da-sac brings out their candy and puts it on one table so the trick or treaters have one stop with lots of candy.
I have been wanting to learn to sew for a long time and decided making Riley's Halloween costume would be a great place to start. I got lesson from a friend and she helped me make a Pebbles costume. She was such a cutie in her costume!
As night time set in we took the kids around the neighborhood to do some trick or treating of their own. With Riley being so young we just walked around the block with her. After a few houses she had the trick or treating down pat and would walk up to every door. She even darted in a few people's house before we could grab her. Even after going just around the block she had a lot of candy, too bad she won't be eating any of it!
