Halloween Hoopla 2010... This Year with NO Hissy Fits!

After a Carson"less" Boo in the Zoo, both children joined me for Halloween Hoopla.  We met and spent time with many friends at this year's Hoopla!  I would have to say the BEST part of Hoopla was Ella and Harry singing "Jesus Loves Me" on the stage.  As Ella and I were looking at the pink fountain, a lady approached from Hoopla and asked if Ella would like to sing for the kid karaoke.  I was so proud of her.  Carson had a fabulous time with the Brown boys,  Mrs. Martin, Sarah, and Savana.  For Ella... we spent all of our time standing in lines for the same bouncy!  After Hoopla, we watched Rhett Brown complete the 5K competition while the boys bobbed for apples and exercised.  Our night ended with pizza at the Brown house!  I LOVE great time with friends!

Boo in the Zoo 2010

This year I was minus one child at Boo in the Zoo!  It was a very sad realization for me for sure!  Carson had the day out of school, so he and his daddy went to the Nascar museum in Charlotte.  He was exhausted when he got home, so he opted out of going to Boo in the Zoo!  After arguing and pleading with him, I finally gave up.  It wasn't until I was at the bottom of the driveway, already running late, when he decided he would go.  By that point, it was too late.  Ella and I had ended up having a great time despite the fact Carson wasn't there.  I would have to say her favorite part was the playground again.  Ella is one happy girl any place there are swings around.  Next year, we will have to plan things a little better!
