Halloween Eve

Nicholas was invited to a costume party with some of his old pre-school friends.  Pretty much all of the boys had gone their separate ways for kindergarten.  It was good to get them together again.  And many thanks to the parents who hosted the party and allowed the parents to drop off and leave their kids for a few hours.  Travis and I spent some quality time together and let Adrian have alone time at home.  Travis and I went to Durant Nature Park.  I had seen the signs for it plenty of times and always wanted to check it out.  It's a little pocket of preserved nature in one of the busiest areas of the city.  There's good trails including two miles of mountain bike trails.  Hardly anyone was there so it was even a better place to hang out.  Afterward we went to Target for popcorn and an icee, and to pick up a few things.  Then it was time to pick up Nicholas from his party.

View from the dock.  Not all of the leaves have changed color, and there's a lot of evergreens.  Still very pretty.

The play ground was all his and he was thrilled.

The trails were great.  We hoped to see wildlife but only get squirrel sightings.

"Mom, take my picture."

Nicholas and friends at the party.  It looked like they had a lot of fun!
