Halloween 2017 Part 3

First, we went downtown and parked by the library.  The first place we were going was the First Baptist Church Parking Lot where they were having probably the hugest Trunk or Treat in town.



The party was already in full swing when we arrived.

One of my favorite things is seeing what kind of costumes people come up with.

The little boy's favorite part? The Bouncy Castles :)

It was fun to see him and a few boys strike up a conversation about their costumes while Captain Underpants watched on :)

There was ONE other little boy who was dressed as Kylo Ren ( not the one he is speaking to in this pic ), who kept taunting him about Yoda being dead.  The little boy coolly told him "I'm the Yoda Force-Ghost" :)

Being Yoda's Force-Spirit didn't diminish any of the fun on the bouncy castles though :)

After getting our fill ( well, I say OUR because the little boy would still have gone on for hours if we were not a little pressed for time ) with the inflatables, we proceeded to the Trunk or Treat area.

There were not as many cars this year as in years past, and the lines were not humongously long either. Maybe it was because we arrived a little later than usual.

Yes, it's not only the costumed kids who get looks, the Mamarazzi gets lots of looks too.

The Spelling Police in me was dying to point out to SOMEONE, ANYONE, that you don't spell Chopsticks that way.

It is really neat though, how people volunteer to think up themes for their cars and then actually follow through and decorate them. All for the kids.

I mean, PLINKO.

The Obligatory Teenage Boy Hangout Tail Gate Motif

I love these colorful trains, and apparently they are Yoda Approved too :)

MORE fun and games.

Some day, as all of this floats around in the world wide web, we will come back to reminisce and have  collective "AWWWWW"s at moments like these :)

After doing the rounds, ( and besides, they were closing shop ), we hopped on over to Southern Hills, where THEY were having a Trunk or Treat event as well.

THIS year, we didn't have to wait in line quite as long as we inched our way towards the parking lot area.

I am always quite amazed at how cooperative people are, and that there are no crazy stampedes or pushing and shoving.

I DO wish, though, that we could have stopped a little longer at certain stations, just because there was so much to see, and they had put in a lot of thought and effort into their decorations.

Once the trunk or treat part was over with, it was On To The Play Area Ahoy!

... to be continued.
