Saturday, October 31, turned out to be an awesome Halloween night. After a very heavy snowfall earlier in the week and frigid weather right up through Friday, Saturday dawned gorgeous and it was a warm and windless night, perfect for the tricker-treaters. I love Halloween. Actually, I just enjoy visiting with those who come around. We have had the tradition probably since we moved to Riverton to set up a fire for folks to warm their bodies and grab a cup of hot chocolate. The neighborhood kids are growing up and there aren't as many kids who come around anymore, but still enough to make it fun. Here's a picture of Jared with his friend, Landon, as they came in with their stash, a BIG bag of candy. Jared by this point was no longer donning his cloak, hat was off and wand put away, but he had a good time. There are those who ban their children from tricker-treating after they leave elementary school, but my rule is as long as you dress and are polite (which all the kids, big and small, were) then you're welcome to play. I didn't get a picture of Victor as he swooped in w/his Jayson mask and two carloads of teenage boys. They had hot chocolate and raided the fridge. Tony was at the University of Utah football game.
I took lots of pictures this year, but interestingly it's the teenager pictures that really grabbed a spot here including one of the girls from the ward and I have no idea who her zombie friends are, but don't these girls look great!!
I have no idea who these girls are, but I loved their costumes of Thing 1 and Thing 2 plus Bam-Bam and Pebbles. Very clever.
Ah, nothing like sitting in a chair. We always have hot dogs on Halloween roasted over the fire pit. Might as well since we're spending the evening outside.

Wish I lived in the neighborhood! We had a borning night in as Ethan has been sick since Thursday. I'm not big on Halloween, but I probably would be if I lived close to you!!!! Looks like it was a fun night!
I agree with with Amy said. I am not much into Halloween, either. But you make it so much fun! I would enjoy having a firepit and hot dogs & hot chocolate. Would indeed make for a fun evening! Good idea!
