trick or treating is offically done

every year the medical college of wisconsin hosts a great trick-or-treating activity for the medical students and their families. i guess we didn't think two trunk-or-treats was enough candy already, so we put katelyn back in her costume one last time.
i guess katelyn had forgotten that we had already practiced this trick-or-treating thing because she was a little hesitant at first. it was fun to watch as she realized there were big bowls of candy waiting for her at each stop.

we saw a number of reactions from katelyn as she realized people were handing out free candy and that mom and dad were letting her take it. at some of the bowls she was very polite and only took one piece, at others she grabbed handfuls, and at some she just stared into the bowl laughing.

i think she's getting a little too comfortable with trick-or-treating. here she decided to just stay and sit by the candy.

she even made some stops to admire the decorations.

by the end she was worn out and had a bag full of candy. or maybe i should say that tyler and i had bag full of candy.

our last stop was in the cafeteria to munch on some yummy donuts and drink some delicious apple juice. we found this cute little set up and had to take a picture. katelyn was all too willing especially because there was a little chair set up just for her.
side note: nobody trick-or-treats on halloween day here. they have set dates and set times when everyone is supposed to trick-or-treat. our set day was october 26th (sunday) so were unable to go. so weird.

Whoops, I didn't mean to delete my last comment. This is all I have to say... Brooke, I think Halloween was made for you. I'm sending all my candy your way. Trick-or-treat!

Katelyn looks soooo cute in her costume! It's a good thing she got to wear it three times! Thanks again for your help last weekend. The kids loved having you here. And we are trying to make Ryan repent sufficiently :).....Did you by chance lose an earring?

That is really interesting about the set dates thing. Katelyn looks so cute as a bumble bee! David and I were really proud of our children for putting in all the work to collect candy so we could all profit from it! :) Now I am (I can't believe it myself!) candied out for a while. Only 361 days till we do it again! :)
