Trunk or Treating

This Halloween, we found ourselves with many invitations to join friends and family for dinner and for door to door trick or treating.

For days, we had planned on going to the church festivities that we've gone to the past couple of years. But today, I got to thinking about trying a new church outreach that I'd heard great things about and to make a long story short, we ended up spending the evening with our good friends, The "W" Family, at the new church outreach.We arrived to the church shortly after 6:30 and boy were we not disappointed in this church's event! I think we'd defiantly go back here again next year. There were 75-100 cars for trunk or treating, about 20 game booths, food booths, and about 5 of those enormous bounce slides and mazes. It was amazing! It was was all organized and laid out nicely, and there weren't a lot of scary or spookily decorated cars. Which is really nice when you're trying to stay away from the scary stuff. We skipped the game booths and bounce houses and even a row of cars and headed for another church where some friends were hanging out. It's a church that neither of our families had been to and we just thought we'd check it out. But by the time we got there, they were wrapping things up and shutting things down, so we called it a night.The girls made a haul on candy, all good stuff!!! We came home and scoped out the goods. And here is the combined efforts of both our girls. We had a really nice evening hanging out with friends we've not gotten to do that with for a while and saw more great costumes and some really nicely done cars. Now it's off to raid the candy bag....
