HALLOWEEN 2011

It was finally time for the "real" part of Halloween as Kylie pointed out on our way trick-or-treating. And the kids couldn't be more excited! We were first invited to go to the college for a truck-or treat put on by all the different sports teams.  The kids loved that. It was a fun place to go for easy access to loads of candy and fun sports players. 

Once again, they were having to pose for a very unwanted picture. They were both anxious to get on their candy- getting way. I think Jase had his eye on the sport's track and all the people heading over there for the goods. 

After the college we headed over to arguable the best trick-or-treating neighborhood St. George has to offer complete with a Santa Clause that hands out ice cream and houses with king size candy bars. Not to mention long, well lit streets with tons of houses. We meet us with some other friends there and had a good time zig-zagging back and forth across the streets from house to house. 

The Santa Clause house had a  huge line last year, but we must have got there just at the right time this year because we walked right up and got our treat.

On the way home we stopped by a house we had heard about that carves over 80 pumpkins each year and displays them around their drive way. It was pretty cool to see. They had some fun pumpkins the kids thought we were neat.  
We then came back home and went around our neighborhood. The last two years we haven't been established enough to really get too many trick-or-treaters in our neighborhood so we have always just had a good time taking the kids out, but from talking to a few neighbors that did stick around this year, they said there was a great turnout in our neighborhood. So I guess maybe either Jeremy or I will have to stay back next year and actually hand out the candy we always buy.

Holy cow, those pumpkins are awesome!!!! Looks like a fun Halloween for your family. I had to stay behind this year to pass out candy and my hubby took the boys out. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, lol!!
