Halloween 2011

Wow, this Halloween was sooooo much better than last! Mike was not only home for this one, but he took the day off! We went out to an apple orchard/pumpkin patch in the Hill Country for most of the day. Hay rides, train rides, cider making, apple washing, puppet show, music show, petting zoo, orchard tour and the best apple ice cream I've ever had. We were wiped out. Ella even fell asleep on the way home (in the middle of the day, which those of you who know her is unheard of). Then we went trick or treating with our neighborhood friends, and ended the day with Ella handing out candy. By the time Ella and I finished our street, Mike had ran out of candy and she was so upset that she couldn't hand out candy, she gave up half of hers just so she could hand some out. What a sweetie! That thought never crossed my mind as a kid.

Oh and in case you can't tell what they are, Ella is a Boise State cheerleader (we've had that outfit for a long time, glad it finally fits) and Grant was "G" the Builder (if you look closely, it says "G" builders :) Ironically, our house in Boise just sold and we closed on Friday!
