Trunk or Treat

Friday, October 26, 2012

This year for Halloween Seth and Camryn were Gnomeo and Juliet and Alexis was Fall (the twins were Summer & Winter). We headed down to the Goodwill near our house and found clothes that could be the base for the costumes.  We made out pretty well and I just had to cut and sew a few things to make these cute getups. 

The Young Men and Young Women in our ward were in charge of the Trunk-or-Treat, which meant we had to be there early and get things set up.  The YM were in charge of the hot dog and chili dinner. They had a chili cook off (Grandpa Jenkins was one of the judges) and then Dave and other YM leaders manned the grill making hot dogs.  The YW made and ran games for the kids to play. 

Alexis manned the fishing game.  Not many YW were there so she made her guy friends help and she made sure she got treats too.

                                    

Seth hung out with his best buddy, Mason.

Camryn spent time with Heather and Emma.

They both got tons of candy trunk-or-treating and they played all the games.  The donut game was their favorite, racing each other to eat the donut off the string.

At the end of the night, we cleaned it all up and headed home, while Alexis went out with the boys. There had been a game where toilet paper ghost were knocked over by a fake pumpkin.  The TP couldn't be used for conventional purposes, so Alexis decided to take Taz, Lawson, and Hansen on their first TPing adventure, with Taz's brother Tanner driving them.  Let's just say - they got caught and interrogated by their victim's neighbors!
