Trick or Treating!

Here in Hershey, they assign different days to different townships to Halloween itself isn't so crazy. Also, kids can trick or treat several times if you want, since they can go to various neighboring townships.

It was Eli's first time trick or treating. We didn't take him last year because we figured he didn't need the candy.

He is a monkey and Dora's a butterfly. Aren't they cute!?


Dora was just the cutest butterfly ever!

Here are the kiddies--we walked to our favorite block in the neighborhood and just did one block. We love the tree lined block of Areba before it hits 322.


Dora kept grabbing Eli so I gave her some mardi-gras beads to play with. Then Eli wanted some. You do what you can, right?


Here's Eli's first house!! He wasn't really sure what he was doing. He tried to go inside about 3 times. He hasn't ever been over somewhere and had them answer the door and not go in! Anyhow, he couldn't say Trick or Treat, but he would say Happy Halloween. Once he got the drill down, he would say happy Halloween, and then say PLEASE. HA. He knew he was begging.



Cute little bugger, right?



Here he is with Dad.



Dora was happy just to be along for the ride. A lot of people tried to give her candy! I told them she wasn't ready yet.


About halfway through Nana showed up, so she took a family shot.



Here's my monkey! Everyone thought he was supposed to be Curious George. We should have done Whit as the Man in the Yellow Hat!!



This shot proves Nana was there-in her 4 inch spike heels from work! Once she arrived, Eli assigned her pumpkin carrying duty. It has gotten pretty heavy! That kid got a lot of loot from one block!


We had a great time. I think Eli will want to go again tonight. Ha. Only in Hershey can you go over and over.

Yes, only in Hershey . . . that place just oozes goodness and candy.

Whitney would make a perfect man in the yellow hat! Now that would be a fun sight to see. Good thing you can go more than once in Hershey, there's still time.

If you go again tonight, Whit can get a yellow hat and be Eli's straight man! Love the pictures of the outing. Glad Em could make it - both for the fun she had (I'm sure) and for the family shots she was able to take!
