We started out our Halloween fun with a trip to the Harmon's parking lot. After the boys did their practice for the Primary program tomorrow we picked them up, changed their clothes and headed to Harmon's.
Tony's cousins girls do Girls Scouts and they were doing a food drive/truck-or-treating event. So you had to donate at least one can of food and then you got to do the truck-or-treating. They probably had about 8 cars, so it was little but the kids had a good time
After we got our goods we ate lunch at Texas Roadhouse. We used some of our free kid meal coupons and all had a great feast. We sure do love that place. The waitress totally hooked us up with lots of rolls, even an extra box of them to take home. It was fun.
Megan had enough fun and was ready for a nap. While she napped Tony and the boys met up with Margie at the dollar theater to see the movie, "Planes." They said that they all liked it and they had a good time.
When they got home we got the kids dressed back up in their costumes to go to Macey's where they were doing Halloween activities. They had truck-or-treating, cookie decorating, and face painting. They handed out some nice things too. The kids got cookies, coloring books, Halloween rings, and of course candy. It was a nice event that they put on.
We noticed a couple signs at a church that we past that said they were doing a truck-or-treat at 6:00 that night. So after Macey's we decided to crash their party. We figured they probably wouldn't care and the kids were already dressed and ready for more truck-or-treating fun.
Turns out that the prep time was at 6:00 and the actual truck-or-treating wasn't suppose to start until 6:30. The boys quickly found friends to run around with but Tony and I then felt very silly waiting around at this wards party. We did have one guy come and welcome us...I confessed we saw the sign and came even though we don't live around there. We joked about saying we just moved in or something, but I didn't. I just told the truth.
The kids had a great time. It took going to a couple cars for Megan to pick up what was going on, but after that she was running from car to car. She loved getting the candy and just wanted to sit down and eat it all. People would say she was so cute that she got two...she is pretty darn cute. They also had hot chocolate and donuts there too. They put on a pretty fun party.
So now we have a huge bowl of candy and it isn't even Halloween yet. The kids had so much fun and I am glad that we were able to do these fun free things with the kids. They are going to LOVE going truck-or-treating and trick-or-treating on Halloween. So much fun!
