Their First Halloween

Holy cow where has the time gone! A year ago I was very early on in my pregnancy, still trying to wrap my head around the fact that we were having twins and now here we are, with two almost five month olds. I have always loved Halloween and I was so excited to be able to celebrate it with my children. Though we may not being doing anything special for Halloween night, we made sure we crammed some fun, festive activities for the month of October.

One of my new favorite places that I am pretty sure we will be making an annual tradition is Sweetfields Farm in Brooksville, FL. I cannot say enough about this place! It had farm animals, lots of pumpkins, fresh apple cider, a corn maze, and so much more. It was definitely a family-friendly activity we could all love. It was even more special because my cousin got to be part of it with us, as she was visiting from Atlanta. While it was hot the day we went, it was definitely worth it! I cannot wait to take the kids as they grow.

Another fun thing we did was attend Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween party and we had a BLAST. Again, it was hot, so we did not do costumes, but instead did fun coordinating Hocus Pocus outfits. We got to take the kids on lots of rides and they had SO MUCH FUN! Next year we will definitely be doing costumes when we go. The other great thing about Mickey’s Not-So-Scary is that it is totally allergy friendly. Since I am breastfeeding my babies, I cannot consume any dairy, tree nuts, or peanuts, or my kids will get very sick. Disney took into account people with allergies and have special options for those, including some of my favorite snacks I frequently buy at Earth Fare.

Overall, it was a great October, but we are very much looking forward to kicking off the Christmas holiday season as it is me and James’s absolute FAVORITE. We hope everyone has a very Happy Halloween!
