Happy Halloween! What a great idea....Trunk or Treat. In this event the piccolo (and not so piccolo) kids can still participate in the candy-filled fun of trick or treating.
There was a line of traffic to get on base- I had never seen that before. Our little puppy and ladybug were ready for action....although they weren't sure what action was in store.... they knew candy was involved.
Awww...
We arrived at 6 pm (when it was to start) and waited about an hour to get to the entrance. No one told the kids we were waiting and they fun running all over the place in their costumes- and checking out everyone else. I was glad they weren't "naken" underneath their costumes as they quickly overheated and ditched them. This isn't the best picture but you can see all the people waiting.
The weather, thankfully, was wonderful- no rain.
This is how it works. A section of street is closed off. People from different organizations volunteer to back in and decorate the trunks of their cars or the bed of their trucks, and hand out candy. (Hence the "Trunk or Treat.") People really went all out.... there were a lot of kids and adults in costume. There was also a haunted house- My Man volunteered an afternoon to help build it.
H picked up the routine immediately- of course, candy was involved. Z showed amazing bravery in the face of gorillas, witches, etc.
We finally made it to the beginning.
A plan was hatched to get lots of candy.
There were some amazing entries....half of this team dressed as a camel's a** for the entire night! That's dedication. Really, the creativity was awesome!
A taste of the (sugar) high life!
Happy Halloween and Happy Birthday Nanny-o!
