My little lion and his first flight

So here's James looking out the window on his first airplane flight...

I was so worried about him freaking out on the plane if his ears got plugged, or if the loud noise of take off scared him. But guess what? He was a champ! He got a little squirmy at one point, so I'm glad Zac was there to trade off with, but otherwise, he was awesome. (and he slept the entire flight on the way home). Thank God.

So once we got to Reno, we had loads of fun hanging out with one of my best friend's and her 3 kids (!) James loved checking out all of their cool toys and playing in their big back yard. We even got dressed up early in Halloween costumes and went "trunk or treating". (Have you heard of this? Apparently it's a thing).

We tried to teach our little lion how to ROAR, but he didn't really catch on. 

As for actual Halloween.. Zac and I got in a fight, and I carved a pumpkin by myself. Life isn't perfect, but it's good! :) Happy belated Halloween!
