Trunk-or-Treat

Being that Halloween was on a Sunday, the city had trick-or-treat from 4-6 p.m.  At church, we always coordinate our Trunk-or-Treat to coincide with the city in order to outreach to the community.  That meant that we trunk-or-treated in broad daylight and had an hour of soups, sandwiches, and fellowship before our evening services.  Because it was a 5th Sunday, we actually had participation night.  Who knew that Buzz Lightyear, Superman, and a Pretty Princess would share their talents?  Too cute!!!!

Before bed Rachel said, "I like uh more Trick-Treat-Thank You."  I told her that there was no more until next year.  She replied, "Ok, I like uh more my birthday!"  Hahaha - she's figuring it all out :-)

Trick-or-Treat @ the Zoo

We LOVE our ZOO Membership.  Since Caleb was 6 months old, the zoo has been one of our favorite family outings.  We go as much as possible.  While on this one particular date we don't see many animals, one of Caleb's favorite times to go has always been in October.  1) We go in the evening!  2) He wears a costume! and 3) He scores some candy!  This year, he got to share this experience with brother and sis, and it proved to be even more fun.  The weather was perfect, Buzz Lightyear, Superman, and Miss Princess had a wonderful time.

It seems that the candy gets skimpier each year, but to Jeremiah - whoa!!!! Everytime we came to a candy booth, he asked excitedly, "Another one?!?!"  It didn't take him long to catch on to Trick-or-Treat!  All 3 kiddos sported good manners and did well with all of our maneuvering in and out among the crowd.  Aside from the great candy heist, we also rode the carousel and posed for many a pic with costumed characters.  Recognize any of these???
