This year, we travelled to Medicine Hat for Thanksgiving. Nana had a special day planned for us while we were there. We went horseback riding at Midnight's Trail. Of course, the girls loved it. The horses were saddled so that one of the girls had to ride with Nana. Elise would have none of that, being the experienced rider that she is. Sophie was very helpful and took the first ride with Nana; later, they switched so Sophie could ride by herself as well. She can't wait for the day she gets to ride with no guide.
Halloween was lots of fun. Sophie was a My Little Pony Equestrian Girl, and while Elise had initially picked out a fairy costume, she later decided she wanted to wear Sophie's Elsa costume from last year. We started with a pumpkin hunt at the park by our house. Our neighbour and good friend, Denny, hid the pumpkins beforehand. Apparently, he wanted to prolong the hunt for as long as he could, so the pumpkins were very well hidden. Moms and dads enjoyed some hot chocolate while providing helpful hints to the kids. After our hunt, we went back to our place for some pizza before heading out to trick or treat. Sophie and Emily ran from house to house and got almost all the way around the block. This is a first since in previous years, we only visited a handful of houses before losing interest and wanting to get home to enjoy a few treats. Elise and Logan were bored sooner, so Chelsea and I stopped at their place with the two little ones while the older ones continued on with their dads, then joined us later when they had had enough.
