Our trick or treaters

Emma "Supergirl" and Garrett "Lion" in front of a store, downtown Casper.
The Saturday before Halloween we took the kids to "downtown Casper". The business pass out candy and there are hundreds of children and parents/grandparents on the sidewalks/inside stores. Even though it sounds rough, it is really quite fun, seeing all the kids in costumes, our kids really enjoyed it. Garrett learned to hold his basket out and candy would be put in it. He got to ride in the stroller since he is not real fond of walking around yet, trying to train him more before the baby comes. Espically since Rob will be gone come March.....but anyway.


Then on Friday we had "Trunks of Treats" at church and we all dressed up like biblical characters. We were then able to share a very quick version of that story from the Bible and passed out gospel tracts. It was an awesome opportunity to reach out to our community. Again the kids really enjoyed it but they were able to pass out candy this time. Later on they went around to the trunks and got some for themselves too. Garrett again showed how he knows how to hold onto his candy basket, I think we had to tear it away when we got home, to be able to get his PJ's on.
Emma "angel"and her friend Colbin "shepard" visiting with Noah, they were in his "boat".
