The Spiderman Strut

Halloween Costume Party 2009


Here's Zach at a Halloween costume party for kids on Wednesday.

There were games, a bounce house and a costume contest.

Even though Zach didn't place in the costume contest, he came away with lots of candy (as usual).

He's got a different costume for Halloween. Tune in Saturday night to find out.

And may the force be with you (hint, hint).

Dancing Machine

Zach showed off his dance moves at the church Halloween party he and Mommy went to on Saturday night.

Mommy just wants to go on record and say that he didn't learn these moves from her.

A Day In The Life Of Zach

Zach had a busy and fun-filled Saturday.

First we went back to the pumpkin patch for a carnival of sorts. Zach rode a pony three times and Mommy lost count how many times he went down the giant inflatable slide.

Then it was off to a Halloween trick-or-treat party at the zoo. Zach was one of the few kids who didn't show up in a costume, but that was fine with us because temperatures were in the 80s and it was too hot. That didn't stop Zach from bringing his trick-or-treat bag, which was filled with a good amount of candy and other goodies by the time we left.


Our last stop was a Halloween party at a local church. A lady at the pumpkin patch tipped us off to it and we're glad she did. It was a big event with hundreds of people and lots of games, activities and, of course, candy (Admission was a bag of candy, can't beat that). Zach even got to show off his dance moves.


Check out some of the highlights of Zach's day (Warning to Grandma Natalie: there's a picture of snake below):


Zach rides a pony named "Hannah Montana."


Zach's favorite part of the whole day.


Zach keeps a comfortable distance from a baby alligator and a ball python.


Zach plays "clean sweep" at the church Halloween party. Yeah, we never heard of this game either.


Zach gets some help blowing a giant bubble.


Zach's not sure what to do during something called the "Holy Ghost Hop." (Remember, we're at a church party).


Zach gets his groove on and break-dances (see him on the ground?)

Hog Wild


Zach "rides" a Harley for the first time. He spotted this beauty as we walked to our car in a shopping center plaza parking lot this evening. The owner heard Zach oohing and aahing and invited him to climb aboard. "When you graduate from college, tell your mom you want a Harley," the man advised Zach.
