Trick-or-Treating

In our community, we went trick-or-treating on Saturday evening.
I helped get the kids in their costumes, and then Rusty & I went to Terreton for the evening sessions  (adults meeting) of Stake Conference. (if you want to find out what "Stake Conference is, click here)
 But first we bundled Emmalee up--all in purple.  She really wanted to wear her pretty church shoes, but we insisted on tennis shoes since she would be walking.  (in the past years, I usually drive/follow them in the van, so she can ride when she gets tired or cold).
 Callum's all decked out in his costume.
 We picked the warmer costume of the lion for Benjamin.  I found these cool sword & wand glow sticks at the dollar store for the kids to use while trick or treating.
 Benjamin didn't want to hold the glow stick by the handle ;)
 What awesome kids I have!  
 Looks like Ben is ready to go....
 and he is off...without everyone else!  Brienna was in charge of the little ones while we were gone & she said they were actually out trick-or-treating for 1 1/2 hours!  
Although he started out in the stroller with Brienna pushing him, Benjmain wanted to get out & walk up to each door--by himself.  If Brienna tried to help him out of the stroller, or up the steps, he would fuss (have a fit) & wait until he could do it himself.
But he was more than willing to share the candy he got from trick or treating.

It was a fun night for the kids.
