Trunk or Treat

We had our ward trunk or treat party this evening. There was a great turnout, so everyone had loads of fun. We started in the gym with dinner, a chili cook-off. Then we went out back where there were all sorts of fun games for the kids to play and fun little prizes to win.

I didn't see David for much of the evening, he stayed busy playing with his friend Ryan. I didn't see much of Joe either--he stayed busy playing and following David around. Alexis manned our trunk and passed out candy with Claire for a while, then had fun making the rounds 3 times!

Lily's favorite part was the pony rides! The Callapps brought their two ponies and spent the evening taking kids around the parking lot. Lily went twice. I think she would never get off, it that were an option.

Evie was fun. For the most part, she was happy just wandering and visiting people, BUT when the kids started getting candy in their bags, she was suddenly rather interested in what they were doing! Knowing full well that Evie will not really eat much of the candy and that she can't actually ask for it, she only trunk or treated about 10 cars but she had a blast! I think she had even more fun passing out the candy, however. She would take a piece of candy out of the bowl and then just walk up to someone and wait for them to let her put it in their bag for them!

We had a blast! The weather was warm, the games were fun, the company was great, and the kids were happy! What more can you ask for?
