I’m pretty sure Halloween is the best content creator holiday EVER. We get to write about the best Halloween events in South Florida and Boca Raton, decorating, cooking (PUMPKINS!), costumes and showcase adorable photos of our kids dressed up as all sorts of cute things. Pre-baby, #modernbocadad and I used to rock the “couples costumes”. Oh yes! Our great friends throw an epic Halloween party each year, so I always felt like we really needed to work hard to come up with a great outfit! I’m pretty confident we succeeded.
But now that we’re parents, our focus is on Fall & Halloween Events in South Florida and Boca Raton and #dailybocaavery:
I can’t wait to take her (and my nephew) to all of the great, local Halloween events in South Florida and Boca Raton coming up.
Here are just a few to get your October calendars going…and we’ll continuously update this post as we find more!
