10/29 Trunk-or-Treat

October 29, 2008

Our ward (for church) had a trunk-or-treat activity tonight at the ward building. It was a lot of fun, but it was SO cold. Jason needed to do some school work so he went to his office at school. The children and I went to the activity. Sorry, but I don't have any pictures from the activity because the camera was having a problem that evening.

Nalani helped me decorate the back of our minivan. We used the soft white stuff stores sell to make spiderwebs spread across the space. Then we put a big spider in the middle of it that we made out of a foam ball and pipe cleaners. We also had those little spider rings that we stuck into the web.
  1. While we (and other members) decorated our trunks, the children could decorate paper bags to use as their treat bags if they didn't already have one.
  2. Trunk-or-treat began. I passed out candy and the children went around to all the other vehicles to get candy. A lot of people showed up to the activity and decorated their trunks.
  3. After the trunk-or-treat part of the activity was over, there were other activities to participate in. Some people carved pumpkins and they were judged.
  4. We could go to another area of the parking lot where there was a stove-like fire pit for roasting marshmallows. Many people gravitated to the fire to keep warm.
  5. There was also a "hay ride" on a trailer pulled by a truck. It was fun, but the exhaust from the truck wasn't good.
The activity was a success, if you ask me (even though you didn't). There were many activities, and the children had a lot of fun.
