Happy Halloween

We had a fun Halloween. Riley decided to be Indiana Jones, and Abbie wanted to be Dora. It started with Riley's kindergarten class going on a parade around to the different classroom at his school.

Than our ward decided to do the trunk-or-treat on Friday night. I guess there were some who wanted it on a different night so the kids could do other trick or treating on Halloween.

On Halloween we headed to down town for the traditional trick or treating to the different businesses on Main St. Usually it is a lot of fun, but this year it was so crowded that Riley just wanted to go home. By the time we got down one side of Main St. he was complaining and whining. I asked him if he just wanted to go home, and he said yes. We went home and went to a couple of neighbors houses and than the trunk-or-treat at the high school. The different clubs decorate a car and the kids can come trick or treating. The entry fee is a couple of cans of food that they donate to the food bank. Riley had so much more fun here. It was nice to see him actually smiling.

All in all it was a successful time. Now they have candy to last them quite awhile. As long as I don't eat it all:)
