Real Life Halloween Fun

 We had such a great time Saturday with Rigo, Colleen, Lucas and Liana. They came over for a family lunch playdate after soccer, and then we all went together to our church's Halloween extravaganza.

This year the theme was "Halloween at the Castle," with medieval decor, costumes and activities, including jousting and (foam arrow) archery.

Because our church has become so crowded, and this event draws from the SClarita community as well, this year they set up off-site parking and shuttles. They were comfortable and convenient, and the little girls loved sitting in big seats with seat belts.

 After watching the jousting show, we trick-or-treated at the decorated trunks, before checking out the archery and indoor games, and more trick-or-treating.

There was also "knight training," where Cora and Stace learned some proper sword-fighting techniques for their playroom foam-sword battles.

 A separate area featured the "king and queen" photo prop, and arts and craft projects. Of course, this included coloring swords and shields.

We had so much fun together, finishing our evening with dinner from the food trucks.
