Halloween

I'm trying to catch up on everything, so there will be a few posts today. Friday night, we had plans to go out with Joshua's friend Will and his Mom who is a good friend of mine to go Trick or Treating. We also ran into another friend of theirs, Jake, who was in their class last year, and his Dad. After trick or treating for quite a while (the weather was beautiful!), we all ended up back at our house. Everyone played Rock Band and visited. I think Amy and I went for pizza at 10:30. We all had a great time! Everyone left around 11:30 or 11:45.




Saturday, we took the kids to Worlds of Fun (a local amusement park). We don't go very often (maybe every other year), but we went in September, and they had a special. You could buy a 2 day pass for only $5 more than a 1 day pass, so we did that. We didn't make it back until this weekend, and we were REALLY fortunate! It was 75 degrees on November 1 in Kansas City. There was hardly anyone (relatively speaking) at the park too! Joshua was brave and rode two large roller coasters (The Mamba and Timberwolf). He didn't like the Mamba but loved the Timberwolf. Sarah rode everything they would let her ride. She has absolutely no fear at all! She was furious she couldn't ride the "big" roller coasters. The Camp Snoopy stuff was too tame for her. Many rides thy will let little kids ride as long as they have an adult with them, so she went for it. The octopus, sea dragon (the thing that is like a boat type thing and takes you back and forth up in the air pretty high), and several others. And she kept wanting to ride over and over again because she had so much fun! Jason says we didn't do anything to help her curb her fearlessness by letting her do that. But everyone had a great day!
