Halloween at Hogle Zoo

On our way out of town on Saturday we met Uncle Brandon, Aunt Katy, Alexis, Domenic and Skyler at the zoo for the trick-or-treat activity. Grandma had bought costumes last year for everyone so they were all excited to dress up in different costumes from their own Halloween costumes and go to the zoo. We had a blast. Thanks Brand and Katy.

Kaycee looked so cute in her little Raggedy Ann costume. Alexis looked beautiful and the boys were all adorable. They all had a wonderful time together. Domenic and Kaycee were inseparable. They are two years apart but you wouldn't know it. It reminds me of my brother, Brandon, and myself. We were the same way. Everyone thought we were twins. Domenic and Kaycee could be too.

Kayden had a blast watching Skyler and everyone run around. I couldn't believe the crowd. People were parked on every street, many illegal and others double parked. The zoo was packed and people stood in long lines for candy. I had never been before. It was a lot of fun and it was a beautiful day. It was nice becuase the kids were worn out from the zoo and ready for the long ride home. We were exhausted too but at least they slept for some of the trip home.

While my mom was at her meeting for work we went over to Isaac's aunt and uncles house. His uncle huge into Halloween and the decorations get bigger every year. We hadn't been to their house for a while and it was perfect timing for Halloween. Kaycee thought it was pretty cool. She was afraid of a couple of decorations, the ones that jumped out at you, but she thought it was cool. They did a really good job. We only have a few pictures because it was dark and not all of them worked out.

His uncle prepares for Halloween all year round. His neighbors love it and encourage him. They were on the news and they asked them not to release their address because they get so many visitors throughout the month and even more trick-or-treaters on Halloween. Every year it gets a little bit bigger and more and more people. They do a really good job and have a blast with it.

Fall Family Fun

Kaycee and Kayden had a blast at Grandma and Grandpa Bott's house this weekend. She was excited to play with her cousins too. Hayden and Kaycee helped Grandma rake the leaves and then they would run and jump in the big pile. They would also hide in the leaves.

Wow. It was a LONG drive but we made it through rain, snow and ice. The weather got too bad so we stopped in Bozeman and stayed at C'mon Inn. Yeah, that is what we thought too. What a strange name but it was so nice and a great price. They had 8 hot tubs and a nice sized pool. Outside of each room was a nice little patio that led to a hot tub. Kaycee had a blast. We forgot our suits so thankfully there was a Target open next to the hotel. They had a small section of suits which were not on sale. Bummer. They also had an Outback next door and of course Isaac had to get a steak. Kaycee thought that it was the best day after a very long drive. Swimming and steak!

The next morning we woke up to icy roads and drove the rest of the way to Douglas, Wy and made a stop in Kaycee, WY. Kayc was so excited to be where Christ LeDoux is from and where she got her name from. We bought her a shirt and went on our way.

The kids and I are hanging out at the hotel while I do homework and Isaac is at the clinic. Kaycee, of course, got sick so we are waiting for it to warm up to go anywhere. It was 20 degrees this morning when we took Isaac over at 8AM.
