Last night was Cade's first major trick or treating experience. Last year, since he was so little, we just stayed home and gave out candy. This year was another story. Rick and Pam volunteered to stay and give out candy at our house. Rick even gave out toothbrushes that Met Life had sent to his insurance company (yes, we were 'that' house:). Our neighborhood has TONS of houses (many that decorate their homes as much for Halloween as they do for Christmas). The only problem is that Cade walks really slow (since he is only 19 months). To solve the problem, rather than use a stroller or wagon, we decided to do a full out Halloween hayride. So we hooked the big trailer (thanks Rick!) to our car, added some hay, and invited over lots of friends to go with us. Oh yeah- Heath decided to really kick it up a notch and add twinkling lights all around the trailer. Wendy stopped by to see Cade and dubbed us as the "Griswalds of Halloween!" It was so much fun, and definitely the way to trick or treat (especially since all of our riders were three and under!). Cade did so well. He left his costume on all night and did a great job taking his bucket up to doors. He and Mamie ate their candy during the whole trip (it was a holiday, right?:) I thought he would be on a sugar high until midnight, but luckily all the fun caused him to pass out about 9:30. We had the best time and hope to do it again next year. Here are some pictures- they are a little out of order:
This was actually the end of the night, and Cade was still eating candy!
The best picture I could get of Cade, Lily and Mamie (aren't their Wizard of Oz costumes adorable?)
