Halloween Fun

I'm a little behind on a few posts...I've been busy with life. I'm back posting a little bit. So, here we are back on Halloween fun.

On Saturday, October 29 we went to Trunk or Treating and the Chili Cookoff at our church. We signed up to decorate our trunk and hand out candy for the trunk or treating. Paul decorated the trunk and had lots of fun. He found a motion activated spider that goes up and down. He put twinkle lights up, Kaylee's pumpkin that she carved, spider webs, and lots of little spiders on the spider webs. We didn't know when we got there, but they had trunk judging for who decorated the best. Our trunk won for the scariest trunk award. Paul won a McDonald's gift card for his excellent decorating skills.

On Halloween we went to my dad's office for trick or treating around his office, and for lunch. Roman and Hudson also went trick or treating around the office with Kaylee and Gabby.

My dad even got into Halloween dressing up in Gabby's Witches hat.

Gardner Village - Witch Fest

It's Fall break in Utah, and all the kids are out of school for the weekend. We decided it would be fun to get together with some friends and family we don't see nearly often enough. We went to the Witches Festival at Gardner Village with Wendy, Jessica, Nicola, and Wendy's neighbor Amy. It was an Excellent idea that I think EVERYONE in the Salt Lake Valley had at the same time. The place was PACKED...P-A-C-K-E-D...PACKED! We made the best of it, and had fun looking for all the witches on the scavenger hunt. We found all but one of them but it was really time to leave and get away from the crowd, so we didn't worry about the last one.

My girls were especially excited to go this year because they are both dressing up as witches for Halloween. They dressed up in their costumes to go to the Witch Fest, and loved it. We got there early and decided to look around while we waited, and I took some cute pictures of the girls while we were waiting. First my little witches found a cauldron to stir up some brew.

The kids were saying they were hungry pretty much as soon as we got there, so we pulled out our picnic and found a spot to enjoy our lunch before looking for more witches. We had SOOOO much fun seeing our friends Nicola and her kiddos again. We have had a really hard time getting our schedules to match, and we were finally able to get together again. Her kids have grown so much since we last saw them.

We got all the kids together on a brick wall and managed to get a picture. We didn't however get a picture with all of the kids looking at the camera...and there are 2 kids missing that were with us. Wendy's friend Amy's kids didn't make it in the picture.

Here's a picture of Kaylee and Gabby with their cousins that came with us. We LOVE going to do things with my sis-in-law and her kids.

By the time we were done my little witches needed to sit down with one of the Gardner Village witches and "sit-a-spell" before heading back to the car out in the far field.

We had so much fun, but next year we will be sure that we don't go when it is fall break, and everyone else in Salt Lake is there too.
