This year was fun making the kids costumes. Janie and I went to a Mtn. Man Rendezvous back in May and then our whole family went to one in June. It was so fun, I could totally be one of those people. They actually have a club that includes all the surrounding areas and they travel to different rendezvous of their choice and set up camp and hang out for the week or so and sell their merchandise and live the life of the mountain man. I think it's awesome. As a result the kids wanted to be mountain men and Indians. It was really fun! We opted out of the trunk or treat this year and just took the kids around to some of the older couples in the ward, it was SO much better! The kids got some great candy, full size candy bars and such and it wasn't just a huge bag of tootsie roll type stuff. And it was a win/win situation. The older folks loved seeing the kids in their costumes and it was fun for the kids to say trick or treat. They actually had to do a trick at a couple of the houses to get their treat. I also like my kids to see how important it is to remember the older couples around and to see how much they enjoy visiting with us and us with them. I think the days of trunk or treat are long gone!!
