We originally planned to go to our church's Trunk-or-Treat night last Friday night but unfortunately it rained and even though they didn't cancel it, we passed on going. I was bummed for Ilah {who didn't even know we planned on taking her there}; I really wanted her to have a fun-filled night, being out and about with other little kiddos. But I was determined to find an alternative...so I was on a mission to find a local festivity that we could take her to on Halloween night. And I did : ) A large nearby church was hosting a Fall Family Fun Festival, and the entire community was invited to come out. Admission was a bag of candy so yesterday afternoon Ilah and I went to the store and purchased a few bags to take.
Here is Ilah before we left the house....
Obviously she is too young to get the concept as to why she has a cute little outfit on, and has a bag in her hand, but nevertheless, she was excited. She went running down the sidewalk....
...and then something ahead of her caught her eye....
And she came RUNNING back....
Those boys are from our neighborhood and they looked quite the part for Halloween didn't they!? You see the middle boy with his hands on his mask? They all ended up taking them off when they saw that Ilah was scared. What sweet boys. After they passed, Ilah's fear seemed to have subsided and she wanted to follow them! Ha!...
"God, do you plan to pour candy down from the sky and into my trick-or-treat bag?!"...
The church we went to was less than 5 miles from our home and they had so many things for the kids to do...both outdoors and indoors {which was a nice surprise, so you could stay warm}. Here are some pictures of Ilah making the rounds at some of the fun booths...
They had someone there who made animals out of balloons - Ilah was loving on her little doggy all night...even after we got home.
This is a face of a girl who was upset that a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle scared her....
Ilah had such a good time at the festival and we all had so much fun as a family!!
After some indoor fun, we headed outside. Popcorn caught someone's eye and there was no way she was going to pass it up!....
We bought Ilah some popcorn {just 50 cents!}...and mommy couldn't resist the grape cotton candy, so we got some of that too ; )
Ilah zipped from one inflatable bounce house to the next, and ran around having so much fun!
She had her first taste of cotton candy last night and naturally, she loved it!...
Hope all of you had a wonderful Halloween!!!
