The Halloween season is upon us and Ali does not seem to be one to be left out. Ali’s first Halloween has started off with a trip up north to Maumee Bay State Park, where Great Grandma Ginger had set up camp several days before. Grandma Cindy helped get Ali into her outfits and ready to visit the campground. Ali made her rounds at the campground and said hi to everyone there. There really wasn’t much action for Ali as I didn’t really see a purpose to take her around asking for candy since I didn’t want any of it sitting around the house and the only thing Ali is eating is crazy-expensive baby formula, so instead she helped pass candy out to all the other trick or treaters. Actually she mostly just slept but she was there for some of the parents to look at and say hi to as they walked their kids around from site to site. After eating some homemade chicken noodle soup cooked over the fire in a large kettle and some good campfire sitting/talking we decided to call it a night and head back to Grandma Cindy’s house.

Colleen, Ali and myself traveled to Grandma and Grandpa Osborne’s house on Halloween so we could pass out candy at the Croy Family’s house. Since my parents pretty much live in farm country, my mom has been passing out candy at the Croy’s house while they take their girls out trick or treating. However, this year Lori Croy had just arrived home from the hospital with a baby girl, so she stayed home with Jillyan (baby-Croy) and passed out candy with us. We started out with an entire laundry basket full of candy. After several hundred kids passed by we ended up with only a couple pixie stix and sugar babies in the end. And in between we had a few laughs at some of the inventive costumes. This time Ali dressed up as a little blue butterfly but didn’t really do any trick or treating, she didn’t even help pass out candy for that matter. She mostly just sat on someone’s lap, blew spit bubles, sucked on her hands, and caught up on some sleep. Even without much help from Ali I would say that we had a good Halloween and even though Ali will only know it from the pictures, I am sure she had a good one as well. We hope everyone else enjoyed themselves as much as we did and we look forward to seeing all of you soon.
