What a season! Our Halloween & Fall Festivals seemed to multiply this year! There were tons of things to do, and we enjoyed every second of it. The weather was PERFECT, too!
First, we met Nana and Papa at our church to go Trunk or Treating!
Ash really liked collecting candy from all of the well decorated cars.
Walking around with Nana!
Yummy!
Our little sweet heart!
Ash & mommy
Next, we hit the Boone Hall Pumpkin Patch with Meme and Popa.
Ashlyn loved the jump castle!
We went on a hay ride through the corn fields. There were ghosts and witches hidden in the trees. Ashlyn enjoyed looking for them.
I was nervous that she would not have anything to do with the goats after our Dallas Zoo experience, but she actually fed them with a smile!!!
Interesting swing...
Popa took her through the rope maze....
It only took a couple of minutes for her to discover HER path choice...between the ropes!!!
Tallest slide ever...she was NOT scared!
Rick made it home a couple of days before Halloween, so he was able to carve pumpkins with Ashlyn. They did our traditional SC pumpkin and a silly face pumpkin.
Ash did not know what to think about the "goo" inside!
A chocolate break or two later...they were finished!
Friday evening we headed to the Charleston Aquarium for their Halloween party.
The Scarium Aquarium was a lot of fun!
Ash checking out the "lion" that a local radio station brought to the party.
I was not too sure how Ashlyn would feel about entering the costume contest, but she hopped right onto the stage with Rick.
She even blew a couple of kisses to the judges!
My two favorite people!
Trick or Treating around the aquarium.
Getting her last bit of candy while Papa went through the line to get us all a doughnut. They had Krispy Kreme that you cold dip in chocolate and add sprinkles! Yum...
Sunday was Halloween. Ashlyn was ready to go check things out as soon as possible.

Jessie from Toy Story 3!
We met Meme and Popa at HIS School to check out the All Saint's Festival. Ashlyn and Rick went on a pony wagon ride.
Ash was totally comfortable with the horses, so she went on her first ride next!
YEA!!!!!!
Another jump castle! I wish I had half of the energy these kids have!
There were lots of games to play & candy to collect.
The Chadwicks
Meme & Popa
We went back to the house just before dark. Uncle Matthew, Nana, and Papa were there to hang out for the night. Rick, Matt, and I took Ashlyn out for a bit, while the Grands gave out candy at our house.

Ashlyn might be a bit spoiled...we pulled her in her wagon from house to house!
"I got it!!!"
Ashlyn was very polite, thanking everyone for the candy & even hanging out some. She loved to talk about every one's pets & find out their names!
Rick went back to the house to get the BBQ ready to eat, so I recruited Nana and Meme to Trick or Treat with us for a bit. Ashlyn loved making them go to the doors with her!

SOOO much fun & candy!
Meme & Ashlyn
"Come on, let's find more!"
What will we do with all this loot?
We headed home & had BBQ and chili. It was a great time with all of the Grandparents & Uncle Matt!
