I say "so-called" because we went with such high hopes of a great time. Last year, I took the kids up to my Mom's on Halloween for trick or treating. She lives in a fairly small town, and they were having a fun Halloween carnival on Main Street and it sounded like fun. And it turned out to be. The kids trick or treated from shop to shop, played some fun carnival games and it was all done in the warm part of the day so the kids got to actually trick or treat in their costume without being bundled in coats.
This year however, was a dud. With the economy the way that it has been a lot of the shops were closed, and there weren't any "carnival" games. It was fun to be with cousins though and the kids were excited to show Grandma and Grandpa their costumes.
Here's Jenna with my sister Lisa's daughter Brittany. She is Ahsoka from the Star Wars Clone Wars.

I guess dad could have won the Chilli Cookoff at your ward. He makes great chilli if he goes easy on the packet! Glad you came to Morgan to show off the costumes and be together. What excuse can I come up with next year? A Small-town Carnival? Doubt it will work.

Yeah, that was a disappointment about the carnival. Apparently the stuff for the teens was awesome. So, we'll see you in a few years?
