Halloween festivities...


So with Halloween being on a Sunday this year we celebrated in different ways...thanks to the Hawkes family for sharing their property with us, the ward had a WONDERFUL ward party at their "farm", as my kids call it. They had a great chili, baked potato, and macaroni and cheese spread, and great desserts. Then the Young Women provided the games. We had fishing for prizes, face painting, donut on a string eating contest, bean bag toss, and musical chairs. THEN we went to the barn for the funnest little spook alley amidst a maze of hay bails. After exiting the haunted barn you came upon a cute little cemetery that had ward members there handing out candy. It was a great night. My kids were so proud of themselves that they were brave enough to go through the haunted house, and seemed to walk a little taller after that night :) What a fun way to celebrate Halloween!!! (and of course me and my unorganized self forgot my camera so I will have to get my friends picture she took of all 3 of my kids!)

Love the Hawkes! Tell them hello for us. Loved the party we attended there and hope it just so happens again that they host one when we are out for a visit sometime.
