Our wonderful 1st ward did a great job, yet again, with the Halloween Carnival this year. Typical chili dinner, as always, followed by tons of fun for kids. Grant and Audrey did great this year. We were able to stay longer than an hour, and the kids played the games and did well.
Probably the favorite game of the night, was this "Snack Walk." The kids had to walk in a circle on numbers 1-10. when the music stopped, they pulled a number out of a bag, and if you had that number you got a prize. We played this several times. The snack was a healthy one, so this one wasn't the most popular one to be at, which was great for us, since Grant and Audrey don't take to lines too well!
We needed a break mid-party, so the kids were content to get away from it all and just play on the stairs, which led to the stage. Grant couldn't get enough of being on the stage, so that is where he spent his time while the carnival was being set up.
One of the prizes was squishy balls. Audrey was too funny. The game was the bean bag throw, and she just walked right up to the board, put it in, and went right for the balls. She was very particular about choosing one, before finally settling on the soccer ball. Then she couldn't stop making her way over to that station time and again to pick out a new ball.
Another fun game they had was Glow-in-the-dark Golf. They gave the kids
Glow-in-the-dark sticks, which the kids loved.
Another awesome thing this year, is that it seemed like there wasn't as many people there. James reminded me that the singles branch was not there this time because we had a boundary change, and they now go to a different building. It was a lot of fun!
Tons of work getting ready though:
The kids were WAY excited to say the least. They were hard to keep in one place to get pictures:
We had a great Halloween!
We took the kids trick-or-treating on Halloween night and James and I had a great time taking the kids around town. The weather was absolutely perfect. A slight breeze, and all that was needed was a light jacket. Grant got the hang of it really quick. He was great at knocking on the door, and saying "tick, teat," although not always with perfect timing. The kids ended up eith quite the loot. One house was even giving out dollar bills, with a handful of candy!
