This year we only had one trunk or treat since Zack is now in Middle school, and Nick isn't quite in elementary yet. We still got way too much candy! This year halloween was kind of a last minute affair. Christopher has been traveling like crazy, and we didn't even decorate our house this year. Time and a season! So very quickly we borrowed costumes, made chili and cornbread, and headed out to the trunk or treat minu Andrew who had a football game with marching band. I was a clown, Christopher a witch doctor, Zack a Viking, Nick a racecar driver, and Xander an army man. We decorated our trunk as a gumball machine and learned we need to add more lights next year!
Christopher looked so scary with his facepaint on that mask! They had fun games for all the kids - including a star wars adventure complete with lightsabers, yummy chili, costume contest, incredible desserts, and the best event - the trunk or treating! Xander caught on really really quickly to going up and asking people for candy!
The popular costume this year was being a Viking. These are all the Vikings (minus Zack who we couldn't find). I think our ward has a little obsession!
And of course, Christopher is always a highlight with making kids tell him a joke in order to get a second piece of candy. Kids were coming back again and again with new jokes. He even got a few adults to come and tell him a joke. We had a blast, got too much candy, and stayed too late!
And had the strangest experience driving home. We stopped off to make sure we had Nick's helmet. When we got on the road, not 30 seconds later, we had no idea where we were. This is a route we drive at least once a week and suddenly had to google map how to get home - and then took a way home that we have never been. It was nuts!
