Yesterday was Halloween and for some reason Mason had the day off from school. Erick took the day off so we could have a fun family day. We have been couped in the house for the past 12 days due to Mason's croup attack, the smoky air from the horrible fires, and then Miles getting sick. So we were very ready for a family outing! We all loaded in the great Honda Odyssey and headed off to Legoland. We decided to stop and eat lunch at our favorite Mexican restaurant, Garcia's in Carlsbad before entering Legoland. Halfway through our lunch Erick asks "Are you sure Legoland is open today?". I really can't believe this happened, again. Yes, this is the second time I drove all the way to Legoland to find out that they are closed on Wednesdays!! Mason looked disappointed but handled it well (maybe he is not surprised at his mom). Miles on the other hand lost his composure shortly after the announcement that we were not able to go to Legoland.
We went to the zoo instead. We had a great time watching the monkeys. Mason and Erick wanted to see the snakes, so we went to the reptile house (my least favorite spot of the zoo). All the snakes seemed to be particularly perky and active. I try not to look too long or I get the nightmare where my bed is filled with them! On the way home we saw the damage the fires did to so much of San Diego. It was emotional to see so many neighborhoods completely burned.
After we got home from our journey we did a little garage sitting (one of our new favorite hobbies). Then we took Peter Pan, Captin Hook, and Spider dog "Trick or Treating" in our neighborhood. Tons of fun. Tons of candy. Miles kept asking me today when it will be Halloween again. Mason already knows what he wants to dress up as next year. He says he wants to wear the neighbor boy's spider-man costume.
