Foothills Neighborhood Halloween Event

Last Friday we took the girls to the annual Foothills Neighborhood Halloween event at the Foothills Aquatic Center (HERE are our previous trips there). It was just us this year since Teddy plays football on Friday nights and I had a soccer game so we couldn't stay too long but it was still a lot of fun. Everly ran in to a girl from summer camp so she had a blast. She got her face painted as soon as we got there. Aspen loves blow-up slides and bounce houses so she was pretty happy too even if she hated her costume. The carnival games were cute and the girls loved picking out prizes. They were also really into the crafts this year. I guess we need to color more.

Foothills Neighborhood Halloween Event

Friday night we went to the Foothills Neighborhood Halloween Event for the second year in a row. HERE is from our time last year.  We really try to get our full use of out the costumes each year so we really like this event. It is cheap ($4) and the kids have fun. There are arts and crafts, carnival type games and bounce houses/slides. They also had a donut eating competition which the kids participated in as well as Hotel Transylvania playing in a movie room. I was shocked at how much all of the kids really like it. Everly loves that movie, but all of the kids sat there enthralled with the movie for a while. It was kind of nice. Poor Cammy was so tired he slept through half of the event but everyone walked away with some candy so it was all good. Here are a couple of pictures and a little video.

Halloween Video

I finally got around to compiling the footage from Halloween. Obviously most of the events were at night in the dark and the go pro does not capture that well, but I think we still got some moments. I combined Friday and Saturday into one cute little video:

Foothills Neighborhood Halloween Event (and IHOP)

As I have mentioned earlier, we were really trying to get full use out of the kids Disney costumes this year so the day before Halloween we went to an event at the Foothills Aquatic Center by my house. Before we headed up there we took advantage of the free kids scary face pancakes at IHOP. Who doesn't love pancakes? The Halloween event cost $4 but that basically paid for your candy so if you didn't want the candy you could do almost everything for free. Pottery painting and the train rides were a couple of bucks each if you wanted to do that. Next year I will definitely pass on the candy because no one needs that. They had some bounce houses and carnival type games which were fun. They also had some sort of eating contest and next year we for sure are going to enter the kids in that! They had a whole free arts area where the kids could do crafts and then a really cool train being pulled by a tractor out front. The kids loved this! There were a lot of people there but it was not overwhelming at all. If they do it again next year I think it is definitely something we will do again.

These things were too much fun!
