Mickey's Treat or Treat Party!

Last night we went to Disneyland for the Trick or Treat Party. Saying that Derek had a good time would be an understatement! When we pulled up he could hardly contain himself. Even on the tram he was so excited... seeing all the decorations and lights. It was so cute! I remember being just like that when I was little. It was a great night for him! Very crowded, but I expected that. I only wish I had worn shorts and not jeans. It was still so warm out at 10:30 pm. We even had to take Derek's costume off after getting there because he was so hot.

We have a monkey backpack 'leash' that we got about a year ago specifically for a Disneyland trip, but never really used it. I knew Derek wouldn't stay in the stroller last night... he HATES strollers! And he also hates holding our hands! So that leash came in handy! And it was great! He loved having a monkey back pack and it kept him close to us.

I was also surprised at the amount of candy they give out at each 'trick or treat station'. HUGE handfuls! We came home with 3 bags full... just great! My kid was on a total sugar high today! But he won't stop talking about his Mickey sword and seeing lots of pirates! We didn't get the greatest pictures, but here are a few from the evening.




Getting very attached to his Micky Mouse sword

How fun. I totally wanted to take Tavin to that, but didn't know anyone who had ever gone. I'm so glad to know it was such a hit!
