Guardians Of The Galaxy Family Costumes

October has arrived and I am so excited to share this post with you all this week.  We decided to do a DIY Halloween costume this year.  This is our DIY Guardians of the Galaxy Family Costumes.  The Husbands and I were super easy.  I’m wearing a black corset and black faux leather leggings.  Chase is wearing black denim and a burgundy leather jacket.  The girls costumes took some creativity, lots of hot glue and sewing.

My older daughter is going to be Rocket or Rockette as we have decided to call her.  We made our own spin on Rocket added in some pink and and made her one cool little raccoon.  My younger daughter is going to be Groot or Grootette.  Yes we totally took the boy characters and made them girls.  It’s what we do.

One of my favorite spots on our European adventure One of my favorite spots on our European adventure was all of the beautiful churches. Stunning architecture, lots of discussions about religion and the differences between them all.  It was so much fun to talk, to share with the girls and I hope they have a new respect for cultural and religious differences.  In the end we are all humans, living on this earth, to grow, learn and love.

Here is a little travel tip: One way that we save money on travel is easy breakfasts. We keep food in our hotel, fresh fruit and baked goods. We grab a coffee every once in awhile, but it’s always something like this. Quick, easy and affordable.
