A Horrific Halloween

It was an action packed weekend for the Smith crew. Saturday, Avery and I headed south to ABQ and attended the ZooBoo with the Westons. I am glad we went and we had fun, but it was literally a zoo. There were thousands of people there and it was beyond packed. The poor animals had to put up with some idiots yelling at them and we saw some jerk kick a bird. Avery and Olivia had fun and I love hanging with Jan, Donald and Miss O. We headed back to the house where Sam, Avery and myself quickly got dressed up to attend a sweet 16 mocktail party up in Eldorado. There was lots of yummy food and Avery had a blast watching the teenagers while Daddy stuffed his face with all the yummy food. It was a GREAT party idea and I might steal it for Miss Avery when she is much much older. Then it was Sunday, HALLOWEEN! We packed up the car, dogs, baby and ourselves and drove northeast to Toas for the day. We had a delish lunch @ Graham's Grille and walked around the downtown area. All the shop owners were dressed up in costume and the plaza was decorated for Halloween. We then took the dogs and Avery to Kit Carson Park. The dogs got to run off leash and Avery had lots of fun playing at the playground. She went down the slide all by herself! (it was a slide for small kiddos) The park is also home to a historic cemetery, the place where Kit Carson is actually buried. Avery took a detour and wandered into the cemetery, a little dare devil already! It was a beautiful drive and a great way to celebrate Halloween. It was a perfect day!
