Blast from the Past...Halloween

This year for Halloween, Peyton was Little Red Riding Hood; Brody was Mario; and Beckett was Dumbo.  I wanted so badly for Brody to be Mitt Romney...but he didn't think that was an exciting enough costume.

We started our Halloween festivities out on Saturday night, at a Trunk or Treat at Rick and Peggy Lowden's house in Pea Ridge.  The kids had a blast going on Hay Rides, sitting by the bon fire, and trunk or treating.  We won the trunk decorating contest by default.  I guess when you are the only ones who decorate your trunk, you automatically win the prize (or in this case, an awesome certificate).

Halloween night we went with some of the kids from the ward around College Place.  The Bingham's house was our home base, and we made it through all of College Place before heading to Grandma and Papa's.  While at Grandma's house, our car was parked out front and got egged.  While Nick and I were upset at first, it gave us a good excuse to drive through the haunted car wash off of Walnut.  It actually was quite scary, but the kids LOVED it. They asked if we could go through it every day.  They were very dissapointed when they learned it only happens on Halloween night.

After Grandma and Grandpa's we went to our last Trick or Treat stop at the Chase's.  Nick put on a gorilla mask and had me drop him off a little bit from the house.  He rang the doorbell, and when Angie answered he jumped at her with the mask on.  I wish I could have seen it, but Nick said he got quite the reaction out of her.  I'm sure she wasn't too impressed.  ;)
