We went to Bayside Church "Trunk or Treat" for the first time this year. They were hosting it the night before Halloween and I thought it looked like something the kids would enjoy. There were over 5,000 people there - talk about crazy, but it was a lot of fun. They had probably more than 100 cars all parked in the parking lot decorated with completely different themes from firefighters, to Disney movies, to Hello Kitty and there were people sitting in each of their "trunks" handing out candy. Amazing - the kids probably could have filled 3 bags with candy, but we called it quits after about 25 cars as we kind of figured that was about enough as they needed. Then we went inside and played carnival games, got their faces painted, played on the playground, ate and left with some fun balloon characters. A perfect family night!!
I didn't want the kids to wear their "real" costumes in case they messed them up so Cole dressed up as Spider man(his costume from last year) and Olivia picked out one of her new dress up outfits she got for her birthday, we threw on some fairy wings and her rain boots and called her a "fairy princess". The funny thing is, she got the most compliments on her costume and of course, her "beautiful eyes."
