Trick or treating

I love that we have the police officers driving slowly around our neighborhood handing out candy to the kids. It is such an awesome community we live in!

Some of our neighbors, Brian and Amy, who are great friends of Jeff and Heidi. Josiah was just about to dig in to the candy

Off we go, just at dusk, and just a little excited!

The next morning before church. Emerald was still in the Halloween spirit, taking Mango for a ride on her "broom" horse.

We had fun hitting the neighborhood. Calvin did awesome, asking which house next each time. He didn't seem to have a fear of anything. He was all about getting more candy. Our little girl, however, was a little fearful of anything "spooky" and refused to go up to several houses, even turning down candy. Zach just hung out, as usual. We hit several houses of neighborhood friends, including Emerald's teacher. One of our neighbors opens their backyard as a haunted path, lined with no less than 35 carved pumpkins. It is a lot of fun. Our neighborhood comes alive Halloween night with hundreds of families walking the streets. Many neighbors sit out in their front yard/driveway with a fire pit going and hand out candy. One house was even handing out adult beverages as treats for the grown ups :) We are really happy where we ended up in our sweet little town and great neighborhood. So much fun! The kids had a blast and both are already asking "how many days unitl Halloween"? Ahhhh to be a kid again. This is the stuff that you dream about when wanting to become a parent, right? We are loving every minute of our fun journey!
