Solo Family Halloween

Pretty sure Stephen has wanted to dress up as Star Wars characters every single Halloween. I have resisted because everyone and their mom does it. But with Russell's growing love for Kylo Ren, I knew it would be an easier costume that he could love to wear. Then it was easily decided that we should be his loving parents, Leia and Han. We definitely had to throw costumes together with the craziness of the month, but they turned out decent. We were kind of sad that our ward trunk or treat was Halloween night, so we didn't get to get lots of use out of our costumes. We did attend a Halloween party with friends so Leia and Han got to go. Russell went trick or treating at town hall Halloween morning, so he got some extra Kylo time too!

We also participated in our family pumpkin carving contest. We chose the theme this year! It was Monsters.

Pumpkin Patch

With our trip to Disney mid-October, we found ourselves running short on time in October. We really wanted to get back to the pumpkin patch we loved last year. There were only a few days left in the month, so we had to go that weekend. Unfortunately it was the coldest weather we'd had in fall. We stayed as long as we could, but when the rain started, we left. Russell was a little sad that we couldn't spend more time on the different pumps. We got the important things done like looking at all the characters, picking a pumpkin, and going on the hayride.

Day 4- Hollywood Studio/ Halloween Party

Right now there aren't many rides that Russell
can do on at Hollywood. So we got to spend more
time meeting characters. When Toy Story and
Star Wars lands open, it will have more to do for
little ones.

For the Halloween party, we went with the theme of

Pixar movies. Our family was from Wall-E. We have 

little Wall-E, EVE, and Dadd-E. People were pretty

freaked out when they noticed the cockroach on his hat.

Day 5- Animal Kingdom/ Cinderella's Castle

Animal Kingdom is the best! So many people

overlook it, thinking it is just a zoo or something.

The safari is AMAZING, and a must see in the 

morning. Pandora was new for us, and it was beautiful

with some great new rides. We always need more time

to see everything. 

Russell was the last kid to take pictures before

other Russell went on break. They got to walk down

the street together for a long time. It was neat.

Our last sit down meal was the fanciest of them

all, up in the castle. You got to meet many of the 

princesses. Cinderella was smitten with Russell.

I think it was a mutual love... so cute.

The guys wore Mickey ears- for this picture only. Haha

People always wanted to know how Russell did, and if

we took him back to the room for naps. Russell does NOT

nap if there is something better going on. He was a champ, but

we definitely pushed him to the limits... (especially with

all the sit down meals.) Only after long Disney days can 

you see the following... Enjoy
