Halloween!

Our group of Scaries ...
Melissa was a Diva She was originally going to be a witch like she was last year, but asked if I would get her a witch wig. The wig that I got her though ended up being a bright pink instead of the red that I thought it would be. She said that it was fine, she had another idea and this is what she came up with.Spencer (as you saw before) was a Skull Ninja. Here he is without the mask.Jenna was a Bunny Rabbit. Here's Jayden as an Elephant. He didn't really like the hood, but would wear it for short intervals.
On Halloween day, we drove up to Morgan where my mom and sister Lisa live. This is Lisa's kids Brandon (also a ninja, and totally unplanned to be the same as Spencer, in fact, last year they were both ninja turtles - which was unplanned as well) Brittany is Snow White, BJ is Batman, and Bryson is a monkey.
Morgan had it's first ever Trick or Treat Street. They had blocked off the road and had it all set up with Trick or Treating and games. They had a whole schedule of events too, including Pumpkin Carving Contest, Costume Contest, Late night Movie, a BBQ and a Dance.
Melissa with one of the streets "attractions"Here are the kids waiting in line to play some games. We all started out with our jackets on, but after walking a bit, took them off. I was sure glad for the warm weather for Halloween for once!Jayden missed his nap, and was just happy to sit in his stroller and let people drop candy in his bucket.
There was a fishing game.Mini golf

And of course, lots of fun costumes to see! This is Lisa's husband Blaine with BJ's Batman mask.

There was also other "carnival" type games, but our favorite (which we didn't get pictures of) was this candy catapult. It was a catapult loaded with candy and when the kids tossed a bean bag on the target, it would shoot candy at them! I think Jenna was the only of my kids to hit it, and I think one of Lisa's kids hit the target as well!

The trick or treat street started at 3:30 and we were home by about 5 for dinner, it was a lot of FUN!

That looks like it was a lot of fun. Wish we could have been there!

I should have gotten a video of the catapult. Maybe they'll do it next year.
