First step was a visit to the St. Luke's pumpkin patch to find the perfect pumpkins to carve. Fortunately there were pumpkins galore to choose from. I think we looked at every pumpkin before we settled on "the ones".
Then a play date with our wonderful neighbor friends ended up in a big pumpkin carving party that was super fun. Ella was settled on carving a cat pumpkin, done. Addison started off wanting a dog then changed her mind 10 times and finally decided on a "W". I realized we don't have pics of the carved pumpkins, but we'll capture those on Halloween.
Ella dove right in and was unphased by the goo!
Addy the carving pro.

Then the annual trip to Zoo Boo. Best part of this trip was that it was the 1st time they got to wear their costumes! Addy is a member of Gryffindor from the Harry Potter book series and of course Ella is Elsa from the Frozen movie.
If you will remember back to our San Antonio vacation last year when we went to the wild animal park and the zebra head in the car that made Ella terrified of zebras - well, I think that she is trying to overcome her fear by riding the zebra on the carousel at the zoo. It was a BIG step. In the past she has refused to even look at them at the zoo. Even sitting on the back of a fake one is impressive.
