Trunk 'R Treat

In our area, churches have these great little Halloween gatherings with games, goodies, and lots of other fun activities for the kids. They are particularly good for the young kids like Critter. It provides a safe, fun environment that is geared specifically to them.

Last year's event was a blast. There were bounce houses, carnival food, live music, games, face painting, and horse rides. O had so much fun that we thought we would do it again this year in leu of trick or treating on Halloween night. This year was a bit different then last year. It was a different town, different church, different people. It wasn't that we didn't enjoy ourselves at the other on. It was close to home which was nice. But we went to "Trunk 'R Treat" because it was more like actual trick or treating with some of the other fun stuff thrown in there. People from the church volunteered to park their cars in the parking lot, decorate their trunks and hand out candy to the kids who walked around from car to car. There were animals to pet, pumpkins to decorate, wagon rides, and face painting.

O scored plenty of goodies. Some of which has already found it's way into Mama and Daddy's stomachs - shhhhh. He doesn't need all that stuff anyway.
