The night began with a parade through the neighborhood with a fire truck leading the way. I had the neighbor taking pictures for me and he didn't get real close-ups of the parade. Oh well! We have a nice long video tape.
The parade ended at the park with cookies and milk. Just enough sugar to get them all back home for dinner. The weather turned out to be really nice. As you can see we didn't even need jackets.
This is Tyler in his mask. The eyes lit up and he looked pretty scary. I have to admit I kept looking all over the park for him because I just wasn't expecting such a creepy character. This is about the first year he hasn't been a pirate. I guess he is growing up.
After the parade we went back home to hurry and eat dinner with Mammy and Grandma Grace before the real trick or treating began. Wendell took the kids while the women manned the house. Emily made it about 2 blocks, had her pumpkin filled, and then wanted to come home.
She was more interested in E.T. that was playing on the projector than getting candy.
Our great pumpkins lit up for the trick-or-treaters.
Megan was a die-hard. This is only a portion of her haul. She was out with Wendell even after Tyler finished. She got back just in time to see E.T. go home in the movie.
Tyler lasted longer than Emily on the streets, but he too got caught up in the movie we had playing on our queen size sheet in the family room. He had his bucket filled and enough big candy bars to last him until Christmas. We had a fun night and are glad Mammy and Grandma Grace could come and spend the evening with us.
