We got to do a dry run with our Halloween costumes this past Friday when we took the kids to Goblyn’s Glen in Los Gatos for some extremely light trick or treating, a walk through a haunted cemetery/house/pirate ship, and some train and carousel rides.

This was Cameron’s first time trying on her dragon outfit (size 2T-4T)….First, I’m so happy she wore it! Second, I was shocked at how small it already is on her!

At her last doc appointment, she weighed in at about the 75th percentile and height was right around there as well, so she is larger than average, but too big for a costume sized for up to 4T???

We took Taliana with us and met Tom at the park where he brought us some yummy Tofoo Com Chay for dinner. After the kids finished, we suited them up in their outfits and they started to explore while we waited for Heather, Assaf and the rest of the gang.

Once everyone had arrived, we rode the carousels–always fun, especially with spooky music.

After the carousel ride, we went through Goblyn’s Glen where the kids walked through spooky-ness and collected treats (the treats were scant and basically a rip-off, but oh, well!). Cameron and Dylan emerged unscathed but the other gals were apparently pretty traumatized!

As you can see, Taliana dressed up as a knight, too! It’s so sweet that she was willing to just jump right into Dylan’s theme! They are truly great friends to each other. Taliana also wanted me to take this picture for her board (where she posts family pictures).

After the girls emerged from Goblyn’s Glen in tears, I was a bit worried, but K. perked up for the train ride and Taliana was definitely cheery enough in our car on the way back home. Not so sure if we’ll do it again next year, but Cameron and Dylan definitely seemed to enjoy it, and they are still talking about it!
