Halloween Hoopla!

Every year our HOA community holds a Halloween Hoopla to celebrate the holiday.  We can't trick-or-treat in our community because the houses are too far apart.  The adults love to see the kids all dressed up.  There's a trick-or-treat trail through the meadow, a massive scavenger hunt, a hay ride, pumpkin painting, and food and drink!  I was one of the organizers this year so I helped with the prep work.  The weather was perfect and the kids had a great time!

This was the Dai Family trick-or-treat station.  We used out beach pop-up tent and covered it with spider webs.  The candy sat inside.  

I made this graveyard as one of the scavenger hunt stations.  I made all the tall tombstones and gave them funny sayings.  They included: 
"Here lies an Atheist.  All dressed up and no where to go"
"Bubba Redneck.  His last words were 'Hey Y'all! Watch this!'"
"For Rent: Very small one bedroom.  Neighbors are dead quiet"
"Lisa Fibber. 'See?! I told you I was sick!'"
"H. Dumpty.  'I was pushed!'"
"Claire Voyant.  She never saw it coming."

Joseph is my little Ninja.  He says "you don't know who I am because ninjas are secret."

A very traditional witch

Scarlet picked Rapunzel strictly for the wig.  This girl likes her accessories.  And I am going as Mother Gothel (Rapunzel's evil mother)

It's a beautiful place to trick-or-treat


Look at that hair!

Lorelai is a knight on an inflatable dragon.  This costume (I warned her) was a bit cumbersome, but still super cool!
