Irvine Regional and Disneyland

Dear Kate and Riley,

To continue the Halloween fun we headed out last Saturday to Irvine Regional park with Dad. There was a pumpkin patch there but, more importantly, there was a CHOO-CHOO there as well as other fun carnival type stuff. The moon bounce turned out to be Zach's favorite thing and one of mom's most embarrassing parenting moments when Zach refused to come out of the moon bounce and there was a whole line of kids waiting to go in but he had to come out first. The attendant wouldn't let us go in to get him so we were left to yell and plead, all to no avail. Eventually the girl had to go in and get him herself.

Then on Monday we headed out to Disneyland to see the Halloween decorations and ride the "ho wide" (aka Pirates of the Caribbean). Zach got to wear his pirate hat on Pirates and all was right with the world.

A little shy with the train engineer

there was a not too scary haunted house. Zach was a little nervous

All he wanted to do with the pumpkins was pick them up and carry them to new spots and then throw them down. It was pretty hilarious to watch.

For some strange reason, after 100s of times going on Pirates, he got nervous at first this time. He was screaming "NO HO WIDE!" and everyone was looking at us like we were bad parents. But two seconds into it he was singing "YA-HO!" and loving it.

Proof, this was him at the end saying "ARRRG!" in his best pirate voice

Stay tuned for MORE halloween fun!
love,
mom
