Trick or Treating

So, here we are heading out for our first trick or treating experience. It was super fun and Natalie was very excited. I don't think she enjoys the candy so much as going out and getting all the candy. Our complex doesn't have many children so we headed out to a neighborhood in the ward that was just houses, and it turned out to be perfect. There were lots of little kids out and people went all out decorating their houses. Natalie did great always saying "trick-or-treat!" and "thank you". It was fun. There was a group of high school kids who had dressed up in liederhosen and were playing polka (think of the song in Shrek when he and Donkey go into the city and pull the lever and the puppets sing their song) and they went marching down the streets, stopping occasionally to play their song. They weren't out for candy but a good time. It was funny to see. One house went all out and the owner had built a pirate ship in his driveway with Davy Jones coming up out of the middle. It had lights and smoke and everything. It was pretty cool. What people do with money never ceases to amaze us. Now, bring on the Turkey!

After all the festivities of the night we went home and Natalie had fun with the glow stick and dad had fun with the camera.
