Trunk or Treat

The Friday before Halloween we went to the ward's annual Trunk or Treat activity at the church. It was a rainy day so the activities were moved inside. I was glad because then I did not have to bundle the kids for the cold weather. Here are Sam and Emily all ready for some candy collectin'! Ben's costume (alligator, dragon, lizard, dinosaur, whatever) was too bulky for his car seat so we took it with us. He fell asleep before we got there so Brad used his costume as a prop to hand out the candy. He put the bowl of candy inside the costume and lifted the the alligator's head/mouth to retrieve the candy. As he lifted the head, he would growl. Ben woke up as Brad was handing out the candy. He watched and listened while Brad gave out the candy. Soon Ben would growl right along with Brad. It was quite a scene.

Here's a picture we took of Ben on Halloween night.

What a fun night. The costumes look great. Ryken (Sam's cousin) was also Spiderman, though when I asked him he was unsure about what Spiderman actually did (the superhero part of the story really needed some explaining, but I'm sure he got the jist). What great pictures, and I can just imagine Brad handing out the treats!
