Disney on Ice- Dare to Dream

On the evening of October 27th, we went to Disney on Ice- Dare to Dream. We took a few pictures before we left. 

Laneah showing off her new Merida dress. 


It was great that my mom got to come with us this year. 
We all rode together with Scarlette, Alliyah, and their moms and grandma. The girls all dressed as Merida but all their dresses were different. They were comparing their dresses in this photo:)
The girls hugged and held hands most of the night. 

We got the girl's picture done. 
Laneah saw this Merdia picture and pretended she was shooting a bow.

Laneah and Scarlette both picked these eel binoculars for their souvenir.
We had second row seats and the characters skated right up to us. 
Mickey and the gang started things off. 
Then Ariel and her friends performed.



Next was Rapunzel. Laneah thought Maximus was so funny. 



After Rapunzel it was intermission and Laneah got her slushy in a Merida cup. 
Then it was the time everyone had been waiting for: Merida!






The last performance was Beauty and the Beast.










The finale! The performers were all so good and their ice skating was so professional. And it was so fun being in the second row. 




After the show we took a few more pictures. Three generations. 
The whole group. I love how all the girls are holding on to each other. 

The ride home was fun. We stopped and got more snacks and the girls had time to talk about the show. It was so fun and I can't wait until next year.

Leaves

Walking home from the parade we found a great leaf pile. Since the weather was going to turn the next day we decided to take advantage. 



















It was our last beautiful day of fall. 

Halloween Parade

The morning of Saturday October 27 our city had a Halloween parade. We walked with our neighbors to a local church where the kids could sign up for the costume contest. The weather was beautiful again. 
Laneah wanted to be a cat and was so excited when she saw Ezra was a cat too. 
Then we watched the parade. 
The kids loved the Chick Fil-A cow.


and the candy!
But they were most excited for Elmo. Brooklyn couldn't stop jumping up and down. 


When the last members of the parade went by, we got to walk in the parade. 
This Olive and Popeye costume was the best!
The parade ended at Town Hall where they had all kinds of activities there. The kids went to the moon bounce first. 

Then we had story time with a witch!!! 
The girls made some bracelets and necklaces. 


The also had free ice cream and other goodies and activities. We live in a great place!
