Rossmoor Ward Harvest Festival

On Friday, Oct. 30th, we attended the Rossmoor Ward Harvest Festival. We were excited because this was Ava's 1st Halloween and we have been planning our costumes for over a year. We went as the Ghostbusters and Ava was slimer. Many people asked us why she was a slimey ghost instead of a princess and this was our response: "What better costume is there for a drooling, teething, baby? Also in a few years Ava will be able to choose her costumes and I'm sure we have a lot of princess moments to come." After that most people chuckled, but some still thought she should be a pretty princess...oh well not everybody has a good sense of humor.

At the festival there were the usually activities, trunk-or-treat, and a bonus dance at the end. Rich was in charge of gourd bowling so we spent most of our time in that room. Ava was tired before we got there so she didn't care too much for the activities. Rich enjoyed the chili and hot dogs and I enjoyed the candy. Since we had to get up early the next day for our vacation we stayed for a little bit of the dance. We had fun dancing as a family especially to "Dead Man's Party" by Oingo Boingo and "Ghostbuster" by Ray Parker Jr.
