Every year even if we go to the same places Halloween is different. The trunks are different at the Trunk or Treats, the festival events are different and even a trip though the neighborhood brings new experiences. Regardless of all the candy the kids will remember what they were, who they were with and maybe how much they walked. Candy cravings will fade and I can't wait.
The hardest part of Halloween is not what candy to eat first, or which house to start at first.
It's what costume to wear!
The festivals are fun because they have so many activities and crafts to do.
Master Gardeners always have such fun crafts. They glued different leaves on plates and the kids used their imagination to complete the picture.
No lollipops for these ghosts. These were made from the Sweetgum Tree pods.
Finale to our night was Trunk or Treat. I can't say if there was a theme or not but, some of the trunks are so fun no theme is necessary.
It's extra fun when people match the cars! Hello Mario where's Luigi?
This was my favorite! Such minimal work but a huge statement!
We went to the circus.
We didn't touch the jellyfish.
Emoji's are a language everyone knows.
Special appearance by the Golden Girls.
An interactive trunk. I-Spy!
This was the most elaborate car. The starship enterprise.
4 pumpkins brought this yellow brick road together.
Pumpkins were not going to be showed up by some cars!
This fun was the weekend before the big day so we had days of Halloween fun! How did you spend you Halloween or last few days of October? Did you attend a fall festival?
All of these costumes are absolutely brilliant my dear ❤️
ReplyDeleteLoved looking at the decorated cars. Most trunk or treats I have gone to dont't do that. Fun pics.
ReplyDeleteLast year was our first time visiting trunk or treats. I think the cars that participate probably just get better.
DeleteWe took our kids trick or treating for a hour. Then headed back home to give away candy to other kids. My kids had a blast.
ReplyDeleteI think we are going to get to that point too. We get a lot and really you only need so much. Plus my daughter wants to hand out candy.
DeleteI wish we did Halloween here in Australia - it looks like so much fun! My partner and I just stayed in watching scary movies on Netflix haha, that's as Halloween-y as it was going to get for us. :P
ReplyDeleteThis looks like such a fun way to do Halloween with a young family, I'm glad y'all had fun. :)
Christie's Take on Life. xx
I watched a couple movies too! There are a few in the theaters I want to see.
DeleteHalloween is such a fun "holiday"! I'd like to visit the USA during this time exclusively to celebrate Halloween! We are living in South Africa and bought a bunch of candy; not one kid came! So sad, as it looks so, so fun!
ReplyDeleteThese cars are too cool! We didn't attend a fall festival, we just did the trick or treating thing in the neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteI love that pumpkin at the end! I can never decide what to carve mine into. This year I chose a shark lol Next year you should write a guide about that!
ReplyDeleteLooks like so much fun! We don't really do Halloween in Australia so I'd love to experience a Halloween over in the states and see how they do it!
ReplyDeleteI didn't attend any fall festivals. My halloween was pretty low key. I took the dog out with his costume on.
ReplyDeleteWow , I must saw it before my halloween party in college.
ReplyDeleteThis is great sequence for celeberating this day..
Thanks
Awww, Happy Halloween to you and your family! This looks like so much fun and I love everyone's costumes!
ReplyDeleteHow fun I like the idea of the trunk o treat very creative and fun for everyone not only the kids.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's entertaining for us to look at.
DeleteI think Super Mario is still hunting for some snacks inside that starship car! Halloween is always fun.
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely one of the Holidays to look forward to especially if you're a kid. I think the costumes are always so much fun even when you're in the process of picking what costume to wear for the day.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like so much fun, absolutely love Halloween and that hat is aces!
ReplyDeleteAll of this looks like it was such a great time! I love seeing all the different costumes as we go around the neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteI looks super cool and sounds like you guys had fun!. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThose trunks are so cool! I definitely agree that choosing a costume is the toughest part. I never have trouble deciding which candy to eat first though lol.
ReplyDeleteHaha you are right I don't have a problem with candy choices either.
DeleteI miss the days of being a kid that was so much fun. Looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun celebration. I've never heard of Trunk or Treat, but I love it! What a fun idea. Looks like your kiddos had a good time.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun halloween activities. Every one looked great all dressed up in their costumes.
ReplyDeleteHalloween is such a fun time. I wish we celebrated it more here but we have another type of Halloween on February.
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely a creative twist to the regular trick or treating venue!!! I love the fun idea and how adults are making it such a fun and interactive event for the kids:))
ReplyDeleteThe costumes are so cute. I love trunk or treats...a great alternative to the normal door to door.
ReplyDeleteI did go to a few Halloween things with my daughter that were very fun. Although I didn't get to do much on the night. My daughter was with her mother for that.
ReplyDeleteOur trunk or treats were the weekend before so they were busier with everyone that has weekends off. I saw more people and kids out for it then on Halloween night.
DeleteThe Trunk or Treat looks like so much fun. They are just starting to get popular in our area so we can't wait to attend one next Halloween
ReplyDeleteThis was our 2nd year going to them. It's a really fun atmosphere during the day, in a parking lot, and on the weekend no matter what.
DeleteI love Halloween. These photos are so adorable and looks like a great time.
ReplyDeleteI like the way you matched the car. Hope you guys enjoyed really well, Nice pics too
ReplyDeleteIt looks like they are having so much fun. The car decorations are so creative and so adorable. This is the best alternative of trick or treat instead of home door to door. What a great idea.
ReplyDeleteHalloween is my favorite time of the year! Looks like you had so much fun and loved all those costumes. That emoji decoration is super cute and I totally agree with you that it is complete language in itself!
