The annual La Costa Meadows Halloween Carnival was this past weekend and, like always, it was a big hit!!
The fun started on Friday morning at flag salute when all of the classes got to show off their scarecrows that they made. Cameron was pretty excited because he and his friend, Liam, got to be in the scarecrow parade with Mrs. Bloody.......
On Saturday morning we headed over to the school for some fun. First, we stopped to say "HI" to Mrs. Bloody! :)
SNO-CONES!!!! We LOVE sno-cones.....
Maleah loved the swings.....
Cameron loved the bumper cars.....
And Rena loved the motorcycles (with her friend Ashlyn).....
Rena and Maleah rode on this little train and then Cameron and I went on the big California Wave slide.....
The kids really are not big fans of rides so we headed back up to the blacktop to play some games and get some food.
Cameron got hurt on the big slide so our first stop was at the aches and brakes booth to get it bandaged up -- atleast that was the story we came up with -- although the story changed (and got better and bigger) quite a few times throughout the day .....
We went in search of this booth -- candy necklaces! I kept telling the kids we could go find the booth, but to not be disappointed when we got there and it was really sand and not candy. Well, I was the one who was disappointed when we found it because sure enough it was colored sugar that the kids used to fill the necklaces. How great is that? They, of course, thought it was fantastic.....
Rena walked in the Webkinz walk and won 2 out of the 3 times she walked. It was pretty exciting! She is now the proud owner of a furry black dog that she named Christina and a pretty white cat that she named Charlie.....
Maleah chose to spend some of her tickets having a feather put in her hair -- pretty blue and green.....
Farmers Maleah and Cameron.....
Done for another year! :)
The pumpkins at night.....
The tractor ride......
They don't have a corn maze to go through and get lost in, but they do have this little maze set up with hay bales. The kids all start with a piece of paper with 8 boxes on it. Their goal is to find 8 different mailboxes and stamp their paper with the stamp in each one. Cameron & Maleah worked together, but Rena roamed around by herself. They all ended up finding the 8 stamps and had fun while doing it......
We saw and fed some animals.....
Picture opportunities......
Pumpkin time!!!!......
Maleah was the first to find hers.....
Then Cameron......
And finally Rena......
Time to head home to do some carving.........
Rena and The Pink Dolphins.....
They both were awarded trophies for playing. They got them on different days and at different times yet they both ended up looking like this......
YES, they both dropped them (Rena in a friend's garage and Maleah in ours) before they ever made it in the house.
Good job on a great season girls! We are proud of you for your hard work!
Makayla, Rena and Olivia......
Cameron & Greyson.....
After the Halloween craft it was time for Halloween cookie decorating. Peyton, Maleah, Jacinda and Jeff.....
Cameron (with a decorated cookie).....
After the craft and the cookies we all got comfy to watch Ichabod Crane and the Headless Horseman.....
After all of the planned Halloween festivities, the kids were back to playing.
Rena, Makayla and Olivia's turn......and Peyton.....
Rena with the black and green Halloween shirt on and (of course) her sparkly silver hat......
WAY TO GO CAMERON AND RENA! WE ARE PROUD OF YOU!
