Halloween Carnival 08

Once again we celebrated Halloween at Jen and Brent's church for their annual Halloween carnival. We left home just as the sun began to go down, so we didn't get a chance to see our neighborhood trick-or-treaters.

Like last year, Aaron just had to dress as Buzzlightyear. He has a massive obsession with Buzz, Woody and Jessie, although when it comes to dressing up, Buzz always wins. Makes me wonder when he will finally tire of his hero. Little Audrey looked adorable in her precious, cuddly pink, bear suit. Even Mommy got into the spirit sporting her kitty ears.

The church pulls out all the stops to make a great event for everyone. A huge BBQ area flipped burgers and dogs for those who hadn't eaten dinner yet. The kids had so many fun things to participate in that Aaron couldn't decide what to do first.

They had tons of carnival booth games set up for the kids to win their candy booty, lots of blowup jumping houses and slides, a cakewalk, mini golf, and a little train that circled the church grounds. I just loved seeing all the little kids dressed up and having the time of their lives, without a care in the world.

Everyone had a great time and Aaron filled his pumpkin full of goodies. What a safe and fun alternative to the traditional trick or treating.

We returned home around 9 to a quiet neighborhood. By then, all the little kids were done with their candy rounds and only the too-old-to-trick-or-treat kids were out begging. I left the porch light off . . . we were boo-humbugs!!!
