Halloween

We celebrated Halloween this year several times. The first was a trip to the Philadelphia Zoo for "Boo at the Zoo." The kids got to dress up and trick or treat around the zoo. It was a beautiful fall day - no need for coats.

Even the lego penguins got to wear costumes!

Our second opportunity to party was the Harvest Party at church. They were supposed to wear "fun, friendly" costumes, so the witch and Darth Vader were out.

The annual North Star Elementary Vocabulary parade was next. Instead of wearing regular costumes, the kids are supposed to create a costume based on the vocabulary theme for their grade level. The third graders were supposed to be a body part. Jeremy used his skeleton costume and labeled many of the bones.

Lastly, was Halloween night itself. The kids had a great time carving their pumpkins (with help from Dad of course). They even made a "headless Meredith" to decorate the front yard. And then went out trick or treating.
