Trunk of Treat

Our Church ward does a fun Halloween activity called Trunk or Treat. Last night a bunch of people got together and we ate chili and rolls and then started the traditional Trunk or Treat. We met at a school parking lot where people can decorate their trunks and hand out candy. The kids walk from car to car trick-or-treating in a safe environment with people they know. It's really fun and Andrew seemed to have a good time. It took some convincing to get him in his Micky outfit but we told him he'd get candy if he did. He didn't quite understand the "trick or treat" concept. He just handed out his bag to people and got candy. Or he would grab a handful and try to figure out how to hold it, get the sucker he was eying in his mouth, and put the rest in the bag. We don't give Andrew much candy, so I was surprised to see how much he wanted it. Mainly the suckers because that's about all he knows. We got some pretzels from a car and I thought that would be a good treat for Andrew. He was enjoying them until he spilled them all over the ground. Poor little guy was heartbroken so of course we had to dip into the good stuff.

We found Minnie!

Andrew was a little nervous/timid at first, but once he learned that they gave him candy, he'd walk right up to them holding out his bag.

At one point, Andrew found an empty chair and climbed in and started digging through his bag. He came up with a bag of skittles, which must be the best form of fruit snacks he's ever had. I was a bit behind Ryan and Andrew so when I came up to him sitting down and eating his treasure I thought it was pretty funny.

The skittles detour didn't stop him though. He kept on going to other cars with his bag.

I'm not sure how, but he figured out how to open a tootsie pop. He had much fun eating that one on the way home.

We had a lot of fun at Trunk or Treat! And since I'm now waking up early (4am because I'm sick) I can post these things right away! I do have more photos of Andrew in his Micky outfit that I'll try to post later.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY!
