Halloween was a busy day! The family trekked up to Germantown in the morning for a birthday party. It was held at at Phillips Orchard - a pumpkin patch! What fun! The kids got to go on a hayride, pick a small pumpkin, enjoy a campfire lunch of hotdogs cooked over a bonfire, whack a pinata, ride ponies (!!!), and play on haystacks, meet and pet farm animals, and do it all in costume! What fun!
After we returned home, we had a little pumpkin carving time, some down time, and then watched the Takoma Park Halloween Parade head down our street. We usually participate in the parade as well as the costume competition, but we thought it would be too much to add to the daily festivities and still be able to enjoy trick-or-treating.
Then the big girls met up with friends Audrey and Daphne and their parents and headed out with Daddy to get as much candy as they could. And boy did they get a lot of candy! Now we just have to figure out how to ration it until Christmas...
