Halloween night was rainy and windy this year. Trick or treating got rescheduled to the weekend and we spent a fun evening at home as a family. The night was highlighted by a new-to-our-kids fall activity: bobbing for apples! It was so much fun and is sure to become an annual tradition now.
We brought up the galvanized bucket and I did my best to clean it a bit as it normally stores sports balls, baseball gloves, etc. in our basement. I used a pitcher to fill it with water and dropped in four of the smallest apples that Will and I picked recently at Erie. Perfect size and firmness for little people attempting capture with teeth in a bucket of water. Haha!
Soph chose (on her own) to put on a swimsuit and Will just took off his shirt in preparation.
Let the game begin!
I adore all of the expressions of the onlooking child!
Look at her seriousness!
First success!
Enjoying the reward.
Sophie continued to have a hard time but never gave up trying!
Finally, Craig cupped his hand under an apple to give her something to push it against and she found success.
Way to go, baby girl!
Going in for round two. (This turned out to be a substantial part of dinner. Haha!)
And then at the end, because our kids just LOVE to be naked, they stripped down to their skivvies and birthday suit respectively and jumped in to dance in the "tub".
We followed this up with a bath, jammies and the Charlie Brown Halloween on TV.

Haha! These pics are great! I adore the one of Craig smiling at Sophie right after she got the apple. That's a loving daddy. :)
