Halloween Elmo - Round 1!

Hi Everybody! It's me, Elmo! hehehe

As you can see, I'm going to be Elmo for Halloween this year! I love Elmo, so it was the perfect costume choice. I got to test run my costume this weekend at a family Halloween event in Maple Grove.

Here I am getting all ready for the big debut! Even though I don't look happy in this first picture, I actually was...this was just a "bad angle." I loved wearing my costume and dressing up as my furry friend!

Can it get any cuter?

All ready to collect some treats!

When we got to the Halloween party, everyone kept saying "Hi Elmo!" ... I guess I really looked the part.

Peek-A-Boo!

Here I am in the bounce-house. I LOVE bouncing! I even went in the hopper 2 times because it's so fun!

Elmo's dashing towards the obstacle course ... I'm going to be the big winner!

I stopped and saw some real-life princesses and they gave me the pretty necklace I'm wearing.

Then it was off to the pumpkin-rolling contest...

For rolling the pumpkins so well, I got this treat! Yummy!

Off to the next stop ... This way Mom and Dad!

In order to get a popcorn treat, you had to slide down this big slide to the beach and do a treasure hunt in the sand for a gold coin. Then you give the coin to a nice witch who gives you the popcorn. Check it out ...

Sliding ...

Digging for the golden coin ...

I got it!

Exchanging the coin for the popcorn ...

And finally, enjoying "the fruits of my labor!" Yummmm

I also got 2 little pumpkins painted on my hands.

More treats!

I played the "ghost walk" game and won this yummy rice krispie treat. It sure was good!

And finally, I rounded out my day with a quick round of golf! Go Elmo go!

Overall, I had so much fun at the Halloween party AND dressing up as Elmo! I can't wait to do it again next week for the real Halloween!

Fall Fun!

Peek-A-BOO! Happy Fall!

I've been busy having lots of Fall fun! I've been to 3 different orchards/pumpkin patches in the last 2 weeks and it's been awesome!

Here I am picking out the perfect pumpkins!

Playing in the hay!

And I love to see all the animals in the petting zoo!

What is this?

Mom said it was a gourd but I called it a "cumber" (cucumber).

I had SO much fun bouncing with Daddy on this bounce pillow!

Whoa!

After all the apple and pumpkin fun, I got to have some Fall treats! I really enjoyed being able to sip my cider from this pumpkin "mug."

Nothing beats apple-cinnamon ice cream washed down with some apple cider!

At the next Fall place we visited, there was lots of kiddie games and activities. See the big pumpkin behind me? It's a huge bounce house and that was my FAVORITE thing to do!

Look at me working this spider web!

I thought playing in the giant pit of corn was really neat! It felt so funny!

And I loved my animal train ride with Dada! Cluck, cluck!

This pumpkin looks about my size!

And this past weekend I went up to the cabin with Mom, Nana, and Papa (Dad was playing in a state softball tournament all weekend). We visited the local pumpkin patch.

Hmmmmm ... which one should I choose?

Corn maze, anyone?!

This pumpkin is so heavy!

Feeding the mini-horse was scary but funny too! He had big teeth!

Playing in the corn pit!

I found a wheel-barrow that I really enjoyed pushing around. I was "working" (as I call it.)

Putting some muscle into it!

Ughhh ... heavy!

Papa, push me!

Happy Fall 'Yall!
