A Day In The Life - 10/29: Trunk-R-Treat

Halloween arriving on a Sunday is always a bit awkward. This is often not considered an appropriate activity for the Sabbath so whether to have the activity on a different day and whether to support others choice to knock on doors on Sunday. Fortunately, the choices are not too hard these days. Those wishing to avoid the Sabbath activity can usually find a Trunk-R-Treat at a church or home.
We took the grand kids (Jase, Hero and Ariel) to a Trunk-R-Treat over at the church parking lot. The kids looked great. Ariel was a spider with many moving arms. Her crafty mom made it from stuff that she had around. Jase (and Quentin) was a ghost buster. Hero was a cute little faery. Halloween kind of took her by surprise this year. At the first trunk she panicked and started to cry. The shock of monsters come to life was more than she was prepared to imagine. But a few moments of hugging and taking her hand took care of that. But it still took awhile for her to understand that people were putting candy into her bucket and not trying to take something out. By the time she finally had it figured out, it was time to go home.
