Trick or Treat, Trick or Treat, Trick or Treat!

One of my favorite things about living in this campground is Halloween. They don't do Halloween on just one weekend, they do it for three weekends! The first, second and fourth weekends in October are filled with Halloween fun. (The third weekend is Glendale days.) They have pumpkin decorating, a scavenger hunt, costume contests, trailer decorating and trick or treating.

This year my mom was able to join us for all of the Halloween fun. We all got special Halloween shirts.
Getting ready for trick-or-treaters
 The owners of the campground had Kelli and I judge all of the pumpkin carving and costume contests. We don't know most of the kids around the campground so we are unbiased.
The arrows point to the winning pumpkins.
My mom got to help us judge when she was here. There are so many great costumes and pumpkins it is really hard to judge!

Little Red Riding hood and the Oompa Loompa were the winners
After the contests the kids go trick or treating around the campground. It is so much fun and it is really nice to be able to just sit out and hand out candy at a scheduled time.
Even the dogs get into the fun!

The last Halloween weekend also marks the last weekend of the camping season. Most of the seasonal campers don't come back again until next year. Since it is the last weekend and everyone is enjoying Halloween the whole campground is one big party. Last year the campers started a tradition of doing drinks and appitizers in a progessive dinner style going from campsite to campsite. They continued the tradition again this year. It was so fun to socialize and there was also so much delicious food.
I know Wonder Woman didn't have a cape but I loved my shirt!

Halloween is so much fun and I love living somewhere that lets me enjoy it extra long. We have had so much fun and there is so much more to come. Next stop Thanksgiving and then Meric's homecoming!
