Halloween 2009

Halloween festivities have been in full force this past week as we have made caramel candy apples with Aunt Cath, Uncle Jay and cousins, attended the Ghostown carnival at the elementary school, trunk or treated at the Ward Fall Festival, carved pumpkins, and trick or treated around our neighborhood. It's been a great time!

The Ghostown Carnival included the Lollipop Tree, fishing pond, car races, tossing rings over the bottle tops, throwing balls at milk bottles, eating snowcones, cotton candy, and chili cheese fries. We even checked out the pumpkin patch for a quick picture!

Here we are at the ward Fall Festival. Joe, the wizard, was taking pictures as I am leading the children's costume parade with my little Alice in Wonderland. Katelyn was the Queen of Hearts, Jacob was a pirate, and Clark decided last minute to dress up as a missionary because his costume arrived late. Unfortunately he is getting beat up by a knight in shining armor, Carter!

And the pumpkin carving happened for Family Home Evening. The kids drew out their pumpkin faces and set to carving the shapes. Great job, kids!

The pro carver, cutting and shaping to every child's wish!
