Halloween 2014 started with a little pumpkin carving. Clara LOVED carving. Ruby and I just sit and watch.
This year Ruby wanted to be a horse unicorn. We found the outfit on eBay and she LOVED it. Clara was a bear. It was appropriate.
We originally planned to walk around the little town of Basin with our Library group, stroller-less. When Clara saw all the people, she crawled back up into the stroller and didn’t get back out. The group walked the whole town and visited each business. They got A LOT of candy. We went to the courthouse, post office, gas station, little businesses along the main street, the education board office, the telephone company, the small IGA grocery store, the pharmacy, the newspaper office and finally back to the library. It was a good little walk and we were glad that we used the stroller.
That evening, we went to two other ranch worker’s houses. They had gotten candy specifically for the girls and weren’t going to be home until later. We got them dressed back up and went out again. The girls didn’t mind at all.
(My favorite house in Hyattville. The wife is one of the last original Hyatts)
(His house from the inside. He saves change all year long and gives out candy bags and a handful of change into kid’s bags. Ruby was excited to get it to put in her piggy/saving bank. Kids LOVE going to their house.)
Last stop for the day.
The girls did really well in their costumes and liked going “trick or treating”, even if it was to only two houses.
