Secret Trick or Treats

Well, Liam's 3rd halloween was a great success. Since we are never this close to family and are trying to have Liam around his family as much as possible, we decided to take the opportunity to drive down to VA Beach to surprise Mimi and Tooie (Taylor's dad). I took half a day of leave on Tuesday and we drove down to Mimi's office. She was so surprised her jaw literally dropped on the floor, I think. Afterwards, we stopped by to surprise Mommma (Taylor's grandmother). To say the least, she certainly did not expect us and Liam and Molly both had a grand old time running around her backyard and watching all the Naval planes flying overhead.



Look...airplane!!



Afterwards, it was off to Taylor's parents house for a great dinner of Beach Bully before trick or treating. Liam had soooo much fun walking around the neighborhood with Mimi and us and would talk and talk and talk until he got to an actual house. He would ring the doorbell fine, but when someone answered, he wouldn't say a word. He would however, stare at the candy and all the decorations.



After stopping at maybe half a dozen houses, the gang finally wound up at Tooey's house (Richard wasn't able to walk with us since he had just hurt his leg), and Liam was much more animated and happy to see who answered the door.



I know you!!!



All in all, it was great fun and we were so happy that we went down for the night. It was well worth the trip.

You can see Liam grasping onto a candy bar. He held it all night, even though poor little man couldn't have anything due to his dairy allergy.



BOO!!
