Dressing up for Halloween was a blast this year! We were the characters from Jurassic World.
I usually try to make costumes or find really cheap ones. But not this year, I really just wanted to buy costumes for all the kids and not care about spending a ridiculous amount of money for one day and that is exactly what I did. It was awesome!
We first went to our ward trunk-or-treat activity and it was fun. We ended up doing it inside the gym, so I guess no trunks were even involved, and it was hot. The kids kept wanting to take their costumes off but I made them wear them so there was a bit of contention there.
Bob and I were Own and Claire from the movie.
The next night we went trick-or-treating around our neighborhood. The weather was perfect. It was great. The type of night Halloween dreams are made of.
Great costumes, tons of candy, and a lot of fun. Whomever wants to participates puts up signs and someone even makes a map. So we don't waste any time going to houses and waiting for no one to answer the doorbell.
We got an early start because last year we had an issue wearing all black in the dark.
I thought it was particularly hilarious watching the dinosaurs gather round a candy bowl like they were feasting on prey.
It was so fun watching the kids waddle around.
As we were walking around the kids got a lot of attention and we kept having to stop to pose for strangers pictures. They did not like that. I don't think anyone in the neighborhood realized I was dressed up also.
We came home to a very crowded house. Bob stayed home with Beatrix to pass out candy and it was crowded! I think a lot of people come to our neighborhood to participate in the Halloween fun. We had some great music and decorations. Bob and Tucker even rigged up a big spider to a remote control car that they would drive around and scare people.
