Let the Festivities Begin!

To get an early start on celebrating Halloween, on Friday we took Ryan to the Heber Valley Railroad's Haunted Canyon. He really enjoyed the train ride and didn't really get scared. It seems to take a lot to freak this kid out. Here's some pics.







On Sunday we went to my parents' house for a little dinner/party with the other cousins. It's fun to have them in town again and Ry really enjoys playing with Jos and Braden. We finally found something that makes Ryan a little nervous. After dinner, we went to my parent's neighbor's house. Let's just say Mark decorates more for Halloween than anybody decorates for Christmas. His collection is probably worth more than our house. He has all kinds of creepy mannequins, skulls, and weapons. Still trying to figure out if he really just enjoys Halloween or if he's a devil worshiper. Anyway, he has a pirate skeleton that talks and moves and raises its sword at you. Ryan was really freaked out and wanted to go home after the pirate threatened to kill him. But being the mean parents that we are, we kept taking him to the pirate to watch him get scared.
Can you believe Ryan kept the eyepatch on? We're still working on the little hoop earing.

Great costumes! I have never heard of the Halloween train. I only knew about the Christmas deal. Sounds fun :)

Arrrg, Matey!
Love the Pirate costume...the best part about having little ones around for Halloween, is that you get to eat all their loot!!! I'm a mean Mom, almost as mean as those parents who force their kids to approach scary pirate mannequins over and over again! (just kidding, wish I'd been there to see that!) Have a great holiday!
