Halloween
Well I apologize for my delay in updating of the Halloween activities last weekend. Things have been hectic in the Hillman Household.
Halloween was a lot of fun this year. Harry really got the hang of the whole Trick or Treating concept. We started our evening with meeting up with our friend Payton and his mother at the Rhema Harvest Festival. This was our first year to attend and it was amazing! Rhema did a great job of working the parables from the Bible into games for the kids without shoving it down your throat so I was pleasantly happy. Harry and Payton rushed from booth to booth filling up the candy buckets quickly. Rhema also had horse there for the children to get the picture. Harry being a Cowboy this was a great photo op!
After Rhema, we went to Payton's house, had a sanck, and then headed out for some traditional trick or treating. At the first house Harry and Payton went up knock on the door, the owner opened the door and Harry started to head through the doorway. It was very funny. So we made it aboaut a block when Payton started wanting to be carried and Harry was scared to go up to houses. In the end we did two blocks and moved on to the next location, Gamma's house.
Gamma's house was very excited! Gamma filled our candy bucket, gave us sprite, and snacks. We playing for a few mintues and then off to Grandma's.
By the time we made it to Grandma's it was after 9 pm. Grandma only had one neighbor with her porch light on, Virginia. I know you probably guessed that one! So we went to visit Virginia, she had the good stuff, Mary Janes! She gave us a few handfuls and we said Good Night. Grandma's neighbor, the Lusk's, were very generous and had delivered a special treat for Harry earlier in the evening. Good thing Grandma didn't open the bag because thier were 4 SNICKERS and a bag of Candy Corn! Grandma loves SNICKERS! She is counting points so we didn't want to tempt her.
We had a full evening, it was 10 pm and Harry was tired! Halloween was a success in my eyes! Bucth has successful enjoyed most of Harry's candy already! He has graciously saved Harry the lollipops , they are Harry's favorite!
