Halloween

We drove out to Montevideo last Saturday for some Halloween festivities.  The Legion had a party for the little ghosts and goblins.  My mom also wanted us to stop over to Luther Haven so that the residents could see these famous peacocks that grandma was bragging about for weeks. 

The Legion and the VFW sponsored the event for the little kids.  They had all kinds of games, candy and prizes.  Emmy filled her bucket and couldn't wait to eat the chocolates.  She got scared from some of the older kids' costumes.  She has been so afraid of monsters lately.  Poor thing is afraid of her own shadow. 

After the Legion party, we had an hour to spend so we went over to Scott & Rachel's house before heading over to Luther Haven to see grandma Linda.  Grandma was so excited to see us and everyone loved the peacocks. 

We visited with a few residents and then spent some time with my great aunt Molly.  She's 93 years old, but you wouldn't even know it.  Her eyesight is failing, but that's about it.  She's still sharp as a tack and knew exactly who I was when I walked in the door.

 Always sucking her thumb...


We spent Sunday trick or treating around our own neighborhood.  We just went around our cul-de-sac.  Emmy loved it and didn't want to stop.  She kept saying, "Another house?"  "More Candy?"
