That candy time of year

Yes, the holiday is more commonly known as Halloween but we're up to our elbows in candy around here, so I think my title is appropriate.  This year we had a web-slinging Spiderman and a precious little ladybug (shocked, aren't you?) A good friend of ours gave us a Spiderman costume her boys outgrew so we only had to buy Maggie's ladybug costume. Will has been wearing out his costume for a couple weeks, and they both had a chance to don their costumes for trunk-or-treat at church, Boo at the Zoo and neighborhood trick-or-treating! (another post)
Our church event was fun as always, we got there early enough this year to eat the hot dog dinner and fellowship with some friends. Will even saw his pre-school teacher who gave him a wad of candy! My camera battery died right as trunk-or-treat started so I didn't get many pics.
Our class did a country hoe-down trunk theme, so
Daniel & I dressed up too
 Will hardly wore his mask all night but couldn't wait
to get this eye patch on...Pirate Spiderman it is


 This was our first year visiting Boo at the Zoo and we will definitely be back - the weather was beautiful and the crowds were minimal. We walked right onto the carousel (well, scarousel), hayride, train and even saw a cute "Scooby Zoo" skit involving wildlife animals. We did have to pay because this is an annual fundraiser and not included in our membership, but as we stood in line, a lady offered us two free tickets because she had extra! It was a blessing indeed....I mean, that never happens!! So we only had to buy one ticket- Maggie is free- and pay for the rides.
