Halloween 2013

Jeff had implant training in Salt Lake over the weekend before so my grandma and I tackled all the fun to-dos here in Tucson.


Friday night, we went to an event at a local Trader Joes. They team up with My Gym, and the kids go place to place trick-or-treating, then get a free meal at the Metropolitan Grill for visiting each place. It's a clever way for marketing, and fun for the kids too. The girls had a lot of fun. Claire dressed up as a sailor and Cadence as Minnie Mouse.

Then, Saturday, we went to Claire's friend's home for a party. They went all out! They are never for home for Christmas, so they make Halloween the fun holiday in their house. The kids had so much fun, with hat decorating, feet stamping, a pinata, and so much more!

Saturday night, we attempted to enjoy the YMCA's trunk-or-treat, but it was total chaos. The lines were not well-run, and we only stopped at a few cars. It was jam-packed with people, and many of the activities had long lines. Not sure we will do that again.



Then, on Halloween, we enjoyed walking the girls around the block while my grandma handed out candy. They only got scared at one home that had  "Friday the 13th music"  playing. It was even scary for me! But, all-in-all, they got a ton of candy and looked cute. I even realized that they switched costumes, as Claire was minnie mouse for Halloween last year, and Cadence was Tink. I'll try not to do that again :-)
