Halloween part 3

And finally... the real Halloween


We all met at Adam and Amy's house, our family's tradition, for a beef stew dinner. We also had salad, baguettes, apples and caramel dip. Andrew was really excited to go trick-or-treating... NOT


All the cousins (back row) Bella, Whitney, Landon (front row) Tess, Olivia, Meg, Austin and Ashley in front. These kids are getting so big!!!


Ashley, Olivia, and Austin ready to go



The kids scored! I think there must not be a whole lot of kids in this area b/c the people give handfuls of candy to every child. One house gave out cans of Mountain Dew and Pepsi (hello! can you say heavy?!) and some gave little party bags full of candy and treats. Their bags were so full by the end of the night. They loved it!






Afterwards, we all relaxed at the house and watched Ghostbusters, a classic. We were all pretty tired since trick-or-treating in Adam and Amy's neighborhood basically means hiking! It was a fun night and a wonderful tradition enjoyed once again.

And you will all be glad to know that this is the END of my Halloween posts!
