Youth Fall Party and Halloween

We had a Bi-Ward Youth Fall Party October 27th. Kevin, Jessica, and Melissa had band practice, but Rachel went and had fun. I was in charge of all the games. We played Mingle, Mummy Wrap TP relay, Lilly Pad Relay, Dragon Tail Tag, Fruit Basket, Candy Bar Unwrap Dice Game, and had a costume contest. We had over 60 kids attend, and all seemed to have a great time. The other ward took picutures. I'll add some after I get the link. Here is Rachel being wrapped as a mummy:

Today, October 31, we are spending most of the day at the Band Competition. I took Rachel to the church at 1:30 for some Trunk or Treating. We made her costume. She is Padme Amidala. We looked at a lot of pictures so that we would make it right. We got the booties, and belt and fabric (shower curtain) at Goodwill. Rachel made her blaster out of a contact solution bottle, dowel, and cut sanded, stained, and varnished the handle. She wanted buns, so we covered her ear muffs with some braided wig hair. For trunk or treating it was raining so she wore a hat. We had to duck tape the bottom of her booties so that she can walk in the rain outside. Rachel will go Trick or Treating with her friend Maria. The rest of the family will be at the Band Competition.

Happy Halloween!
