After our gourmet feast the dads took the boys trick or treating. If you are wondering what those costumes are it is a cartoon character named Ben 10. Ben uses his watch to turn himself into aliens that fight the bad guys. It was such a cheap and easy costume to make so I was thrilled! They didn't have many kids out at all despite the fact that it was an absolutely georgeous night!
Of course the fun part of the night is always checking out your loot!
After we left their house we went back home where my in laws were handing out candy at our house. We could not believe what we saw! Carloads of families lining the streets of our neighborhood unloading massive amounts of kids out to trick or treat. The streets were packed with large groups of kids and Larry commented "This is what I remember Halloween being like as a kid!" I wish I had gotten a picture of the car with teenagers dressed up sitting on the hood and the trunk riding down the street! We had bought a ton of candy because we'd heard that many people from neighboring communities load groups of kids up and come to our neighborhood to trick or treat. Still, we were out of candy before 8:00. The boys said it was the "best Halloween ever!" Oh, and my mother in law said our pumpkin was a huge hit and got many comments!

Great family pic!
I took a double take looking at Clayton. The boys both look so different without their glasses, but Evan hasn't had his that long.
We'll have to check Ben 10 out...never heard of him.
