Our Fall Festival was on Halloween, and all the kids dressed up to enjoy the fun! I was in charge of the event, so i was busy all day setting up and getting things ready...but i still managed to get suited up for the big party!
We had 9 different booths the kids could enjoy, and here are a few pictures of Jordyn enjoying them...
At the end of the festival, the parents head out to the nature trail with buckets of candy, and the kids wander along the trail trick or treating. If theres enough candy, the kids can make the trip around two or three times...so they really have to work for their candy...but i dont think they mind :)
After cleaning up the gym from the party, we headed over to the library for fun activities there. They had a few games to play, a candy apple station and the big hit this year...the haunted house! This was Jordyns first time going into a haunted house, and she LOVED it! All the kids did! They kept going back for more, and then a few of them stayed inside to scare others. The poor little bee in the group shot came out terrified (it was hilarious!)
Heres a shot of Rhaine and I, modeling our monochromatic color scheme (with matching pants)...
It started to get cold fast...so we started trunk or treat a bit early...
Just look how much loot these kids have in their bags...Nicole can barely hold hers its so full! :)
This is the libraries 3rd year doing trunk or treat and we were happy to be outside again (last year we had to go inside due to wind). The community really gets into the fun, decorating their trunks and getting in costume...
some a little fancier than others :) heheheheh I love the message finger painted in the dirt on Dave's window here...these two look more like they're at a tailgating party!
But everyone had a great time!
Heres my trunk...and if you can believe it...after the kids made numerous laps around the parking lot, i still went home with that green bowl full of candy!
We stopped at Archer's on our way home, where Connie let Jordyn pick out anything she wanted in the store...she chose a bag of spicy cheetos! (while i grabbed a frozen pizza since i had no dinner planned out, nor the energy to cook). Then we went to Aunt LeAnns for much needed cocktails and fun! Mena came over to join us for a drink, and we all relaxed while Jordyn went through her goodie bag from Aunt LeAnn. Then i headed down to the house to get the pizza started, popping in on an unsuspecting Chips the Racoon, who had eaten all of our cats food and had started on our trash! I shooed her out of the house and started dinner. What a super full day of Halloween activities...I was absolutely wiped out! But in a good way! Gnite everyone! Happy Halloween!
