Neighborhood Halloween Festival

Today was our neighborhood Halloween party. Carter had a great time! The weather was beautiful and Carter had fun looking for planes on our quick walk to the party.

We started with an afternoon snack while Carter surveyed the scene. Once he had checked out all he options, he headed for the toddler bouncy house. There were several older kids running around and Carter wasted no time getting in the middle.

The big kids were running and jumping around and Carter did his best to keep up but he wasn't too steady on his feet.
Luckily he thought it was hilarious every time he fell.

When he got bored of the other kids, he had dad bounce him around...

And then he would fall down.
He thought this game was hilarious and made dad play until his arms gave out. So Carter had to find something else to do and luckily there was a slide right around the corner. Carter is quite the climber these days and had no problem climbing up the slide...
and safely sliding down.
After the bouncy house got old, we took a stroll to see the other party guests. Carter was excited when he saw Elmo and gave him a big High Five.
During our stroll, we found the snow cone machine which gave us the perfect opportunity for a quick rest. Carter enjoyed his first snow cone, especially eating off the straw.
After we were refueled, we headed for the playground where Carter tried out each slide.
And even found a few drums to play.It was almost time to head home, so he stopped for a quick picture...

while waiting for the hayride. Dad got another snow cone for the ride and Carter made sure he sat all at the very front to get the best view.

After the ride, we took our little cow home.
What a fun afternoon!
