brooklyn had fall break last week and was not thrilled to wake up thursday and find out she didn't have school. that girl! but i told her that we were going to the zoo, her daddy included, and that helped. she loves when we do things altogether as a family. it was a great afternoon!
kendall scored her favorite animal on the carousel.
we loved riding the train, seeing the lions up super close, and looking at all the fun halloween decorations.
the next morning, while james worked from home, we got out of the house and went to story time at the library. we lucked out with the topic for the day being ghosts. right up kendall's alley! both the older girls loved it, and adalyn hated being stuck in the stroller. i made it up to her by letting her have a sucker that was part of the ghost craft for the day.
that night was the ward trunk-or-treat and a great pre-halloween run on the girls' costumes. they were so excited to wear them and find out they got to do a little trick-or-treating. there were soups and bread galore, but the girls were excited about the candy. we have a great ward and the turnout was impressive.
we spent the rest of the weekend getting our house back in order and then enjoying the most beautiful sunday.
we ended the weekend visiting james' grandma at a rehab center. she just had her second knee replacement. she was thrilled to see the girls and they loved getting to have one on one time with her.

we've gone to the zoo almost every week this month. my girls love it, i love that it wears them out, and the weather has been too good not to!
october has been so good to us, it's sad to see it go, but i can't help be so excited for thanksgiving and christmas!
