A couple of weeks before Halloween, we made a trip up to Carlsbad for Halloween at Legoland. At the park, they had a special-themed area just for the holiday. Derek got to ride a bunch of new rides that he once was not tall enough to ride, including a water ride where all of us got drenched. He also got some practice asking for candy in a section dedicated to the kids for Halloween.
On the Thursday before Halloween, Erica's parents came down to visit us. During their short stay, we did a lot of things, including visiting a pumpkin patch, carving pumpkins and decorating out home.
Halloween night marked the first time that Derek when Trick-or-Treating. This year, we dressed up Derek as a dog. He picked out his costume while we went shopping for it. He loved wearing the costume and wore it all night. Aurena drove down to our house to join us for the walk around the neighborhood. We all had a blast! Derek especially loved the whole event and even enjoyed passing out the candy to the kids that stopped by our house. Overall, Halloween was a success!
