Our family really took advantage of many of the fun (and sometimes free) events that Evanston offered for Halloween. On Friday night, I took Zen to the Fairy Tale Trail, a non-scary event for the preschool set. He was adorable in his costume and had fun playing in all of the different themed rooms on the "trail". Sam and I hitched up Zen and the dog on Saturday morning and hit our neighborhood farmer's market for a free pumpkin, books, crafts and a treat bag. We made a brief stop to get Zion from his play rehearsal and headed over to the Washington School Fall Festival, where the boys (Zen, Zion and Kyle) played games, did crafts, and won prizes. Zen had a successful pony ride this year (captured on film!)and Zion won a very food-color laden cake at the cake walk on his first try. We were wiped out after that, although we could have easily continued the fun with a trick or treat and fair offered by the local upscale senior center and topped it off with free ice skating in costume at the Evanston Ice Arena. Maybe next year we'll have more stamina???
