Trick-or-treat

What a day! I went to a Halloween party at Aunt Tiff's house. Then, I went trick or treating for the first time with my Mommy, Daddy, Aunt Tiff, Nana,Papa and Dwight. I really enjoyed it, but I am not sure why they put me in such a hot costume when it was 80 degrees out? I was covered in sweat by the end! What were they thinking? I also tried to go into some people's houses and check out their decor. I don't see why Mommy wouldn't let me...

Pumpkin Festival!

Today we went to Hunsader Farms Pumpkin Festival. They had a huge corn maze (which we decided not to do because we didn't want to pay to get lost), pony rides, a free circus, toddler hay maze, petting zoo, games, art show and of course, pumpkins. It was a little colder and windier than we expected it to be, but otherwise a good time was had by all! Gavin went on his first pony ride (he cried until the pony started moving) , walked through his first hay maze and saw a man made pumpkin patch for the first time. You could tell he didn't know what to think of the whole experience. Sometimes he is hard to read and you can't really tell if he is having a good time. He acted the same way went we went to Disney World. But when it was all over and we were in the car he started saying "Pumpkin Fun!" So, I guess he enjoyed himself!



Yeah, we are the only parents who were
crazy enough to let their child under age 2 attempt the maze himself. He made if halfway through alone! We went with him one time before he did it by himself!
Where's Gavin? See his head in the middle?




Searching for the perfect pumpkin to take home...

Oh no! NOT THIS ONE!
Maybe a smaller one...
This is it Mama!


And, last but not least, here is a video clip of his first pony ride (Pheww! Now I think we got this whole day covered)...

Elmo Live!

We saw Sesame Street Live (Elmo's Green Thumb) this weekend at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater. Gavin went with Mommy, Daddy, Aunt Tiff, Nana, Papa and Grammy. We were a little surprised when we entered the theater and Gavin immediately started to cry. Luckily, once he saw Elmo on the stage he calmed down and enjoyed the show. His favorite characters were definitely Elmo and The Count. He clapped and tried to sing along with most of the songs! "Elmo was fun!" he kept saying for the rest of the day...



Halloween Craft!


"Mama" and I made some Halloween crafts for Daddy and family. I concentrated very hard and did a great job. I really like being creative!! I spent just about an hour working on these projects and my Mommy thinks that is a LONG time for someone my age. She was impressed! I can't wait to see what we will do next!


Here's the finished product...
