Happy Halloween!!!!!

I know I'm a few days late on this but Happy Halloween!!!! We started the night out by going to Doug and Sue's (Dan's parents) and decorating cookies, cupcakes, and eating chili. We then met up with Mike and Angy (Dan's sister) and kids, all of the kids had so much fun trick or treating with their cousins! We ended up with so much candy!!! Mike took us to this guys house who gives out about 10 items to each kid, things like fun dip (my fav), cracker jacks, huge licorice sticks, large candy bars, the things that you would find at a convenient store. It was a 10 minute wait to get to his front door, someone in line said he spends about $7,000 on candy every year!!!! When he was done passing it out to the group he would say "Willy Wonka loves you kids" he was almost as giddy as the kids were! All of the kids took their candy back to Doug and Sue's and sorted out what they liked and did not like. Everyone had tummy aches by the end of the night, that was when we got our clue it was time to go home! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!

Walking to the restaurantEating our dinner after our long walk!!


Every year since Dan was a kid the Clarks have had the same tradition. The Dad's drop the kids and Mom's off at the pumpkin patch and drive down the block to Su Casa (great mex food) and then walk back to the pumpkin patch. The rule is that you can chose any pumpkin you want, you just have to be able to carry it to the restaurant! It was really fun and the kids thought the adults were crazy!
