Trick or Treating at Hershey Park in the Dark

He got the hang of it really quickly.

He'd run up, Say "Trick or Treat," Grab some candy, and Say "Thank you."

After the trick or treating, we watched a halloween band perform.

He really loved when they sang the Ghostbusters theme-song.

That actually became his favorite song for the halloween season.

He'd hum the melody and say "I ain't afraid a no ghosts!"

Derry Township Trick-or Treating

Ready to go!

The first stop- our next door neighbors

and good friends, Tim and Heather.

He did most of his trick-or-treating with his good friend, Anne Jones.

He met up with his fellow biker and sweet friend,

Kennedy along the way. How cute (I mean tough) are they?

He got a lot of good stuff!

And was pretty excited!

This was seriously the best Halloween ever!

Two year olds are so much fun!!

I can't wait for next year. . . and neither can Sawyer! :)

Halloween Snow

This year on October 29th, we got a monstrous snowstorm that came out of nowhere! We lost power for the entire day and even had a tent set up in our living room so we could all sleep together to stay warm. Luckily, the power came back on around 9PM so we were able to put Sawyer to bed in his own room (with some extra warm PJ's on, of course!)

Because the trees were still full of colorful leaves, the snow really weighed down the branches and there were more broken trees lying around than I'd ever seen! As a matter of fact, a huge branch crashed about 30 feet from where we were playing in the snow. It was quite terrifying, and we were so grateful that we hadn't been over there when it fell. It scared Sawyer so much that it took us a good 10 minutes to calm him down even after we went inside.

The storm was pretty crazy, and canceled the Halloween parties that we were planning on attending, but it sure was beautiful!

Hershey Park is Sweet!

We LOVE living in Hershey! It truly is the "Sweetest Place on Earth" and we are already feeling sad when we think about leaving this next year.

One fun thing about Hershey is Hershey Park. One year in medical school we got season passes, but unfortunately, I haven't been able to convince Lance to get them again . . . until now. For Christmas last year, Lance's parents got us season passes!

Although I find it quite ironic that after 6 years I am finally pregnant and therefore can't go on the majority of rides, we have had a lot of fun taking Sawyer! During the summer we would take him to the fun wave pools and he loved the kiddie rides too! Here are some photos from Sawyer's first trip to the park to ride the rides.

Momma went on the first ride with him.

(The "horse ride")

And then Daddy took over!

At the beginning of the rides, he would always be a little nervous.

But by the end, he always had a big smile on his face.

What a sweet life I live!
