Our first Halloween in New Mexico and it was a lot of fun! We went to the pumpkin patch/fall carnival one weekend with Steven and Jennie. A few days later we carved our jack-o-lanterns and I roasted the seeds. The Friday before Halloween we took the kids uptown (Los Alamos) to do some Halloween-themed science experiments at the Bradbury Science Museum and then to trick-or-treat on Main Street. The kids really enjoyed the afternoon, but it got chilly fast in the shade so we went home a little early. They had plenty of candy though! The following night we went back for the pumpkin glow which was awesome.
On Halloween itself Hayden wore his costume to school and they had a pumpkin patch there as well. Carter got to walk in the annual costume parade at Chamisa. The evening was filled with trick-or-treating in our neighborhood as well as a trunk-or-treat at the Baptist church. Fun, fun!
