We usually go to my parents' ward for their Halloween carnival. Josh took the kids this year since it was on the same night as our Young Women's mystery dinner, which was also very fun. So I wasn't there for the carnival but it looks like the had a good time and my Dad took lots of great pictures.
Here is our Peter Pan, mermaid, and Tinkerbell. I finally got Tanner's costume done and it turned out really cute I think! It seems that Peter Pan and Robin Hood get mixed up a lot. Just to clarify, Peter Pan has jaggedy edges on his clothes while Robin Hood's shirt has straight edges. Peter Pan has a green hat with a feather, Robin Hood's is yellow. And Peter Pan uses a dagger while Robin Hood has bows and arrows. I saw so many costumes online with Peter Pan using bows and arrows! Wrong, wrong, wrong.
Sydney thought the eating a donut off a string thing was pretty cool and told me all about it when she got home.
We tried to think of a fun place to go during the day on Halloween. There were quite a few places doing fun stuff for kids. We have passes at the aquarium so we decided to go there.
This is us at the entrance to the "haunted rain forest."
They decorated for Halloween by putting skulls and detached hands and feet inside the aquarium tanks.
Halloween night my parents were so nice to come and pass out candy for us to Josh and I could both go trick-or-treating. I love trick-or-treating in our neighborhood that has so many kids. It makes it so much fun to have lots of people out walking around.
Sydney is a seasoned trick-or-treater and was right with her friends running from house to house. Tanner and Natalie caught on that running was the thing to do but it took them a few times to understand that they were collecting candy. Tanner would go up with the group of kids and stand there with them and as soon as some of them started to leave he would turn around and follow them without getting any candy. They figured it out eventually.
And here is Tanner's 3rd Halloween costume. I found it for cheap the week before Halloween and thought it would be a fun addition to all our dress-up clothes. We decided to have him wear it on Halloween since it was a little warmer than Peter Pan. Also, he has a rather large head and I'm pretty sure that hat is not going to fit him next year. Isn't he a handsome little pirate?
