This Halloween, my grandma and grandpa went to Chicago for a visit and we went down to see them. We were only down there for a day, but, in the Cawley tradition, we packed in as much as we could. Prepare for a lengthy blog post with plenty of pictures and even some video footage.
When we first arrived, we pulled out the trick or treat cupcakes I made. We had to display them before anyone could even think about eating one.
They were filled with all sorts of treats (peanut butter, frosting, marshmallow) and they were also filled with some tricks (jellybeans) and there were two pranks (toothpaste).
My sister Ashley and Mike found the pranks!
The next day we woke up bright and early to head to…
THE AQUARIUM!!!
Tennyson loved looking at the fish. If you listen closely, you can even hear him say “hi, fishes!” You really have to listen close though, because the aquarium was pretty loud.
We spent some time looking at the dock and Lake Michigan too.
Tennyson spent so much time talking to and playing with the fishes that he exhausted himself (which pleased his mom and dad).
And for all those trying to figure it out, the t-shirt Tennyson is wearing says “I chew on everything.” We found it very fitting.
Then we had to rush back. We turned on the MSU/Iowa game for about a minute, but when we saw the score very much not in our favor, we turned it off. We had to get ready for trunk or treat anyway.
Mike and Tennyson looked super in their costumes! (I forgot the most important half of mine at my parent’s house, so I looked rather pathetic.)
Although he may look cute, the truth is he didn’t really like this costume much. He much preferred his second outfit of the evening.
As if we hadn’t already done enough that day, we topped it all off with pumpkin carving!
We also spent some time at home playing around on the Harley…
and being tickled by grandpa.
What a trip!!
Love it....come back again!!
