All Hallows Eve

 We had lots of Halloween activities the week before Halloween. Gavin got to wear his costume to gymnastics, so he was a Ninja during his class. Here his coach is trying to help him do a cartwheel on the tumbletrack.

Then Avery got to wear a pirate costume for her class. Here she is doing the balance beam and then stirring a cauldron of witches brew.

Here is a quick video of Avery attempting to hula hoop. This was at Open Gym where she takes gymnastics.

On Saturday we went to Wheeler Historic Farm that had a Halloween Carnival going on. So we did a Hay Bale Maze, the kids played in dried corn and we rode on the cow train.

They also had giant checkers, connect four and monster horseshoes.

That same afternoon, we went to the Railroad Museum near our house that had a little Haunted Trail for kids. Avery dressed as a Princess and Gavin was a Ninja.

They got to do a small craft, get some candy and ride a train!

The Friday before Halloween, Gavin's school had a costume parade on their back field.

Then for Halloween, Gavin chose his Ninja costume (he also has a Knight costume) and Avery chose to be a Dragon Princess! Here they are before going out and then again with a couple friends from our street. 

They had a great time trick or treating with friends!!

To end this post, we have switched Gavin to a different gymnastics class. So he had his first lesson this past week, which he enjoyed! This one is more at the introductory level and we had to be on a waitlist for a couple months before a spot opened up.

So now Gavin doesn't have that huge Ninja obstacle course as part of his class. Hopefully this class will help him gain confidence in his abilities!
