Halloween Hayride

Last year our community had a hayride for Halloween, and it was so fun that we decided to do it again this year. What's more fun than trick-or-treating? Trick-or-treating with your friends!

All ages were invited, and cute little Aron had the candy theme going right from the beginning.

Little Miss Emma was adorable as an ear of corn. She was also fairly immobile, so it was a good thing she was tired.

There were some great costumes.

I had my long underwear and coat on, but some of the trick-or-treaters didn't seem to feel the cold air.

Desert Boy was so happy to hang out with his cousins. He doesn't really know who Dumbo is, so he just told everyone he was an elephant. The costume was perfect for keeping him warm and letting him have plenty of mobility.

Some of the costumes were a little scary, while others were just so darn cute that you couldn't help but smile.

Our hayride was a little delayed, so we started walking to our first spot to go trick-or-treating.

Then the surprise hayride appeared--an old fire truck, lined with hay bales. It was a first for everyone!

In the community center the bright lights let everyone enjoy the costumes, and there were plenty of treats for everyone to start out the night with a sugar high. Yum.

The Halloween dessert before the ghosts and goblins dug in.

Carol did a great job getting into the spirit of things and having the center open for all trick-or-treaters. Because we have a lot of people who wanted to give out treats but live out of town, this was a place they could come to stay warm and enjoy the trick-or-treaters.


I love this costume!

It started getting dark. Everyone piled on top of the fire truck and off we went, visiting most of the houses with lights on in our community. Living in such a small place we don't have to decide what neighborhood to trick-or-treat in, we just go everywhere!

It was a fun evening, and the nice weather was very welcome. Hopefully we can do it again next year!
