Trick or Treaters on the hay ride


Hallow's Celebration

A ghoulish Halloween experiment

Halloween night


We had a very busy and enjoyable Halloween. The highlight was a joint Halloween and Birthday party. The party was the October celebration for the family birthdays, with Rachel's being the centerpiece. Of course, the party was well attended by Rebecca's large family, and the many nieces and nephews. Following a delicious meal of chicken and steak shish kabobs, the children were entertained in the haystack, hay bale obstacle course, and dry-ice experimentation. Next, we enjoyed ice cream birthday cake, as the kids eagerly awaited the main event of trick or treating. Once costumed up, we hit the Yawlie neighborhood with the throngs of other children spooking the streets. It was quite a night with lots of trick or treaters, just like the childhood that the parents of these little ghouls remember. We turned our trailer into a hay ride and were able to cover more ground, and fill some bags with candy, oh yeah!
