pumpkins and trick or treating...

We had to try out a few costumes before we found one that Bella liked. At first she was very scared of this Nemo costume, but eventually she let me put it on her. She didn't mind having it on, but it would only last a few minutes until she wanted it OFF! Obviously this wasn't going to work...
We went out to a pumpkin farm outside of Portland. It was a lot of fun and the weather could not have been better (the day before this is was rainy and gross).
Here's Bella measuring herself (you're supposed to measure yourself every year you come to this patch, but it's unlikely that we'll every be back).

You ride a train out to the patch and Bella really liked it. There were two different trains to ride, unfortunately we had to ride the green and yellow train, we wanted the orange and black one, darn it...

Bella and Maddy had fun picking out multiple pumpkins.
She liked to ride...
...but she really liked to push.
One the way back, we rode a paddle boat. They had a dragon that rose up out of the water. They also had a shark that came out of the water, just like the JAWS ride at Universal Studios (okay, maybe not just like Universal Studios, but it was pretty cool).
Bella was being pretty quite so I went to check on her. When I walked into the kitchen this is what I found. She got out her raisins on her own and was munching away... in her Halloween costume.
Bella ended up wearing the costume Uncle Grant wore when he was Bella's age. Before the trick or treating...
She really liked her costume. Thanks to Uncle Grant for letting us borrow it.

Getting some treats from Queen Amidala at the Trunk-or-Treat. She had a lot of fun trick or treating. By the third or fourth trunk she knew if she held out her hand she would get some candy. And then she liked putting her candy in her little bag.

So cute! Halloween is SO much more fun with a kid. Tucker was LOVING that people were giving him something at each door. :)
