Young Party of Four

This is definitely one of those holidays that is even better with kiddos around. It lasts almost a full month around here with all we have going on.

While we didn't do Mickey's Not So Scary or anything, we did get to see all the fun Halloween/Fall decorations at Hollywood Studios. And we were able to meet up with some friends at the park so that made for a fun evening. The Chick Fil A Kids' Club is in full swing for the school year and in the month of October they do a fun Halloween night. They let the kids "carve" styrofoam pumpkins and decorate them. They loved it. We let the kids dress up too sinc...
