Idlewild HallowBoo!

We had a great time at Idlewild HallowBoo. The Halloween event at Idlewild is well done. Due to the fact that weekend weather in October to date has been...bad...we along with the rest of western Pennsylvania that had been trying to go all month, went on Sunday. Oh well. We got to Idlewild early enough in the day that the line to get into Storybook Forest wasn't tooo long. We met up with the North Family for the day as well. [Note: we had planned to go the weekend prior but it was 45 degrees and rainy/windy, yuck so instead of having an outing for 7 wonderful families...whatever weather! The weather better shape up before Halloween!].

So, let's see. Gavin was Spiderman, Nora was a Tinkerbell fairy and Dylan recycled Gavin's lion costume with his own personal twist. We didn't use the new stuff because of the potential dirtiness factor and their desire to play hard. Nora and Gavin have wanted face painting all summer [we had successfully avoided, I mean held out.]. I figured today was the day. Nora was thrilled! Gavin let her go first so in the end, he didn't do it. He was sort of scared of it. Not sure why for sure. He had picked out a Hulk type face and then said that he didn't want the black lips. Oh well...Nora waited to quietly and patiently. She sat the entire time with her eyes shut and never moved.

For over a week, I have been trying to find the time to write a blog post called "at peas" = hat please. Dylan is OBSESSED with wearing a ball cap. He wears it all day with the following exceptions: sleeping, eating and at school. He wore the lion costume but only because he could wear his hat. He was Buckeye Lion.

Dylan's favorite ride at Idlewild are the motorcycles. We were tooling around in Raccoon Lagoon and he spotted the bikes. He was bouncing in the stroller so excited. Trick-r-treat was a blast. It was way cool to see Dylan get right in there with the big kids. He was a big fan of his bucket and quickly caught on to the concept. Just don't try to take away his bucket, no, really.
