The city of Hermiston put on a hayride. We were lucky to get there early because it got crowded. We got to see a pretty sunset while waiting in line.
Someone offered to take a family picture.
Then there were several fires and people could have hot chocolate and roast marshmallows. So that was a yummy treat.
We didn't know this but I guess the retirement center in town always hosts a big Halloween festival. This was fun but super crowded.
Way cuter than Frankenstein!
There were a few little games for the kids to play. I don't think any of my kids were able to ring a witches' hat, but it is the candy you get for playing that is important.
Whitney was very proud of her cupcake - not that she was willing to eat it.
Whitney begged and begged to be dressed as a mummy. I am too cheap to go buy anything so we taped toilet paper to her black shirt and pants. I will not do that again. The toilet paper kept falling off and we kept fixing it.
Adam was the coolest skeleton around.
Umatilla also had a Halloween party that we went to. It had similar games to all Halloween festivals everywhere but it was fun. The girls wanted to take a picture with props in City Hall.
Some other buildings also decked out for Halloween but the bank across the street was the best. It was all decorated like Candy Land and the workers were dressed like the people from Candy Land. It was really, really cute.
We made some simple Halloween treats - this was a spider and so easy.
And Adam found a chocolate cookie - sneaky boy.
Anyway, we had lots of great Halloween fun. We are still working on the candy. The only downside was someone stole our stroller on Halloween. That was a bit of a bummer. I don't know if we will buy another one because hopefully Adam will start walking soon.
I hope everyone else had a fun Halloween too.
