Outings in May

We've been busy this month doing all kinds of fun things.
 
At the beginning of May, my mom and brother came to visit us. We took them to the zoo and went on a train ride.
Dallin and Connor had a blast.
Dallin keeps asking when Grandma is coming back.

This one actually happened in April, but we went to Purdue Spring Fest. It's a big outdoor fair and all the colleges set up tents and displays.
The best part was the insect petting zoo. Dallin got to hold a tarantula.
It didn't last long but I'm proud of him for trying.
 
Connor fearlessly went right for a hissing cockroach but freaked out a little when he discovered it could crawl up his arm.

 
 We stopped at Taco Bell after Spring Fest for some lunch. We had to really convince Dallin to try a bite of cinnamon twist.
But after the first bite, we couldn't get him to stop eating them.

We went camping with some friends. While the adults set up the tents, all the kids climbed into the car.

 Dallin's friend had a "Halloween" birthday party. In May.
The boys had a lot of fun. Everyone dressed up in costumes. The 4 closest neighbors knew about the party and let the kids come trick-or-treating.
 
 And then everyone had cupcakes and played under blankets.
 Oh the simple joys of being a little kid!

What a fun birthday party idea. Lucas would be all over that. Good job Dallin for holding the tarantula.

I love the train picture. I'm impressed that Dallin held a tarantula and Connor held a giant cockroach. Yay for two daring and brave little boys!
