We had such a busy day yesterday that I was a bit slow with the camera. We spent much of the day at the Snyder Family Farm. We picked through the dregs of the pumpkin patch for an hour but still managed to find some perfect pumpkins. Meghan rode a pony, but the highlight for her was the tractor/wagon ride because it was dressed up as a train.
We returned home around 4:30, which gave us just enough time to decorate before the real madness began. We live on the quiet part of the street so we probably only got half the kids. I heard the other side was just crazy. We still had somewhere around 300-350 kids though. I turned off the light at 9:00 so I could save a few of "the good treats" for David and I.
Mostly these are aftermath pictures but you get the idea...
The original plan was for a Dr. Jekyl/Mr. Hyde lab but the wind wasn't cooperating. This is how we improvised at the last minute. Pretty good if I do say so myself.
The funniest part of the night for me was watching a little girl, about Meghan's age, talk to the inflatable tree we had on the lawn (for at least 10 minutes). She was quite concerned that it didn't respond to her and she told me so.
David tells me that Meghan was a model trick-or-treater. The strangest/saddest part was realizing that she knows more people in the area than we do.
