A Hula Girl, Darth & a Future MD

We had a great Halloween this year. After Classic Fun Center, we came home and finally carved our pumpkins. Why is the tradition so fun when the parents end up doing all the work? Lauren did help scrape out the inside of a pumpkin this year, which was pretty nice. After we finished carving, we got the kids ready for trick or treating and headed to a friends house for dinner. After dinner, we made the neighborhood rounds and got plenty of candy! It started to rain about half way through our trek, but the kids weren't ready to give up. Even Luke made it most of the way. When we got home from trick or treating we decided to visit 'Hogwarts.' A family in S. Ogden does their yard up each year like Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from Harry Potter. It was so neat and the kids had a lot of fun. They rode a rope swing and got pelted with foam bludgers, drank pumpkin juice, got to meet Rita Skeeter, Buckbeak, Albus Dumbledore, Hagrid and a few others. They both tried their skills at conjuring a patronus and taming the monster book. They even had a toliet with Moaning Myrtle! It really was a magical, fun experience. And we were all exhausted by the time we made it home at 11 pm!
