Halloween at Otter Creek

When the boys went to preschool at BYCS, they weren't allowed to dress up for Halloween or celebrate it.  They could have a "fall party" but it could have nothing to do with Halloween.  Blah!  I was very excited that Otter Creek isn't so uptight and lets the kids enjoy the holiday!

Halloween was on a Saturday this year so Rylan's class celebrated on Friday, October 30th.  The day started off with a party where all the kids could wear their costumes.  During the party, the preschool classes paraded through Rylan's kindergarten classroom to show off their costumes.

Rylan with Henderson and Mason (his best buddy since the very first day of school) ...


I brought Gray along with me and forced him to wear his costume as well :)


First craft project of the party ...


The kids got to go Trick or Treating through the church staff office area!

When we got back to the classroom, the kids changed out of their costumes and into the field trip shirts that they made earlier in the year.  Then it was time for snacks ...


And one more craft.


When the party wrapped up, it was time for the kids to go on their fall field trip!  The parents split the kids up and we drove them in our cars.  Keegan rode with us and Rylan loved having a friend in the car with him - he was a total goofball!  Before heading to Walden Farm, we stopped by a park for the kids to have lunch.  They got to play on the playground and then picnic.  We were in Nolensville and I couldn't bring Gray to the farm so Brian came and picked him up for me.  

At Walden Farm, the kids got to go on a hayride, do a hay-maze, see some farm animals, play on a farm-themed playground, and pick out a pumpkin.








Rylan has a really sweet class and it was great getting to know them better.  They all had a blast too!
