Spooktacular...

The Jacksonville Zoo puts on an event called Spooktacular leading up to Halloween. Since David had plans to be out of town for Halloween night, we decided to go to  Spookacular and let Addi wear her Maleficent costume. We also brought along Roni Lynn and BB. 

I really felt like the Jacksonville Zoo did an OUTSTANDING job this year with the decorations. Normally they carve real pumpkins, so by the time we go at the end of October, the pumpkins look and smell terrible. But this year, they had fake pumpkins that lit up...

They had some of the same characterst hat we see year after year, like Peter Pan and Captain Hook...

The Wicked Witch, Dorothy, Tin Man, Scarecrow and the Lion...

But they also brought in a few new characters...

Overall, Spookacular was a HUGE hit with these three silly girls!

Meet Maleficent...

I think Addi Kate's Halloween costume this year was my absolute FAVORITE! I wasn't too excited that she wanted to be a Disney Villian, but I must admit that she was the pretty Disney Villian EVER. Meet Maleficent...

Addi Kate, I mean Maleficent, definitely has the "mean" face perfected :)

I think she was showing off because we put a little purple eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, and lipstick on her :)

She might be an evil villain, but she sure is pretty!!!

And if you needed a little Halloween over the past five years...

Pumpkin Carving...

We had the perfect Maleficent pumpkin stencil picked out for this year's pumpkin. BUT Addi Kate had other ideas. She insisted on a black cat for our pumpkin this year. So...Daddy and Addi got to work!

This picture cracks me up :)

Addi wanted to help with pulling all the seeds out of the pumpkin...

Her job was to clean the seeds and put them on the cookie tray...

Such a big helper!

Daddy worked his magic and our pumpkin turned into the perfect black cat (with a ghost)...

Feeding the Cow...

Addi got to feed a cow at Connor's Amaizing Acres. I laugh EVERY SINGLE TIME I watch this video. Check it out...

Too funny!

Feel the Beat!

Addi Kate's Uncle Brian plays the drums. So I had to take a video of our girl feeling the beat...

He told us that she needed to work on not lifting her elbows, but she could have a future playing the drums!

Just horsing around...

Addison loves ALL animals, but she sure does have a soft spot for the horses at Connor's Amaizing Acres.  This year they dyed one of the horse's mane, tail, and legs. So of COURSE Addi Kate had to ride the purple one :)

She was a PRO and was so proud of herself. 

Probably one of my favorite pics we take each year, is Addison petting the horse after her ride...

I looked back through my pictures to find the shot we took the first time Addi pet this horse. Grab the tissue... 

WOW! My baby girl is growing up!

Pumpkin Fun...

We took Addi Connor's Amazing Acres. This year, they had a separate place with all the pumpkins.

Time sure has flown! Take a look at my baby's FIRST pumpkin photo...

Drying the tears :(

We also took time to ride the horse/cow train. Addi just loves this ride!

Such a sweetheart! Could you just eat her up?

Next up...the corn maze!

Addi had fun just walking around the maze...she probably would have played in the maze all day, if we would have let her.

Such a fun day...I love how girly she is, yet loves to climb and get dirty.
