The annual GBU Halloween party at Oak Shade Grove was the same day as our family pictures, so we quickly scooted over there right from our shoot. You can still see Will's collared shirt under his costume. :)
This year for Halloween, we were reeeeeally low-key with costumes. I'd purchased Will's Ironhide costume (Transformers) from Amazon right after Halloween last year for $8 because that's what he said he wanted to be. Well, since then, Star Wars has become all the rage and he changed his mind. I said I was sorry but this is what he was wearing this year and I wouldn't buy ahead for next year. He pouted a little, but then he was fine with it. Sophie got several choices offered (all of them from Old Navy's warm, one-piece, $22 selections - lol) and ultimately said she wanted to wear her dress up clothes. So she wore the fairy-looking dress that the Rethman fam bought her for her birthday + the wings our friend Jill bought her for Christmas a couple years ago. No sweat.
The GBU party typically includes food, games and a trick-or-treating parade, but this year also included a hay ride outside with papa's wagon and a Gator. Also, cousin Tabor was in attendance this year and it was fun hanging out with him.

Almost always, there are coloring pages to work on at the table. This was actually a bingo game that they were calling out while the families were sitting at the tables.
Hay ride time!
Papa & Uncle Ronny manned the Gator.
When they returned, trick-or-treating commenced outside.
We capped off our day with some playground time and then headed home.
Will hit up the monkey bars... shocker.
