Pre-Halloween Treat!

Two weekends ago when Dawson and I went to visit my family in Illinois, we went up to their camper in Amboy, IL. They have a permanent spot there at the Yogi Bear campground, and we decided it was a perfect time to go being a three day weekend for Columbus Day and it also being the campground's Halloween Weekend. For it they have a haunted barn the campground puts on, a Halloween costume contest, pumpkin carving, trick or treating, and many other fun festivities to partake in. There was only one downside to the weekend...it was like, 90 degrees and Dawson's Halloween costume is a lion that is fleece and stuffed! So poor Dawson had to get dressed up, got a nose and whiskers drawn on his face, and was toted around by his mom and aunts to various campsites to trick or treat. We didn't go far though, just around the immediate area; and I didn't feel like too horrible of a mom cause there where a lot of other sweaty looking kids. Dawson didn't do it all for nothing either...afterwards he got to be stripped down to his diaper and got a sucker. In the end everyone was happy...grandma, grandpa and his aunts got to see him dressed up, Dawson got a dum dum and some animal crackers, and I got to eat the candy Dawson couldn't eat. Not bad.
