Halloweekend
This weekend we kicked off October like it was the 31st already. It was a jam packed weekend of Halloween and family fun!
Friday afternoon Evrhet and I drove down to Southern California. First stop? Disneyland!
It was Mickey's Halloween Party and Deb ended up not being able to go so she gave me her ticket! There was only one extra ticket since it sold out, so Evrhet was so disappointed he couldn't go! (not) :)
He dropped me off and I waited to meet up with the rest of the gang:
Adelaide, Hector and Darian in their Yo Gabba Gabba getup
Plus Sierra, Alondra, Christian and his two little siblings Jenna and Jonathan
The park was all decorated for Halloween, Disney does details very well. We went on the spooky Space Mountain, lots of trick or treating, watched the Halloween Fireworks Show, went on Indiana Jones (twice) and ended the evening with the Haunted Mansion.

We didn't get home til 2am or so, and then much too soon we were up at 9 the next morning for General Conference! (separate post)
That afternoon we spent hanging with siblings, and even made a special trip for Evrhet Noah and Christian to go to the Food Truck Expo? before heading down to Anaheim again for
Knott's Scary Farm!
Don't be fooled by the name, it IS scary! But it was so so fun. My favorite part was the rollercoasters, but we went through tons of Haunted Mazes and there are people in costumes trying to scare you all over the park. We went with Noah, Jon, Alondra, Christian, Adelaide, Hector, Craig and Kirk. It was a huge group but it made it fun.
(about to go on Ghost Rider, LOVED it!)
This was the Haunted Log Ride. There were 10 of us so we split up 5 and 5 and these boys went on the spooky adventure together. Not sure why Noah looks like an Oompa Loompa :]
My least favorite part was when they shut down Xcelerator while we were in line for it. BUT that is the coaster where the cable broke and hit some kid a few years back so I guess it's good they shut it down before we got on?

Sunday was spent watching conference and hanging with the whole Milam gang. It was so fun to have all the siblings (plus spouses) all together. We will all be there for Christmas this year too, I can't wait!
And before I left I let Darian open his birthday present (can you believe he is already going to be ONE!?) He seemed to love the packaging, but one day he will appreciate his grey skinny jeans outfit too :]
It was seriously such a great weekend, plus here is a bonus shot of the view from Evrhet's parent's new house! <3
