Halloween 2008

So once again, this year Dave and I participated in our churches annual Trunk or Treat. All the church members line up their cars, decorate their trunks, and invite the city to come trick or treat through our parking lot. Not only is it a safe alternative to traditional trick or treating, it is a HUGE outreach for our church. Probably the biggest one each year. Last year, we have 1500 people come through trunk or treat. Who knows how many came this year, but we had a ton of fun. We met with all the members of our Sunday School class so we could park together and had a blast. In the gym they set up all kinds of carnival games, so I helped with the Putt Putt game this year. Since we don't have kids, this is a fun time for Dave and I to indulge ourselves a bit and have fun with all the kiddos we know at church. Here is a picture of or trunk this year.



Not too decorative, but fun none the less. And, also because we don't have kids....Dexter was a silent victim to the traditions of Halloween....





Hope you had a fun and safe night!

Ha ha! Let me guess...he didn't move a muscle once you got that thing on him?? He always did hate clothing...I guess you could say that he's the natural type! Trunk or treating sounds fun! Maybe we'll get to do that someday!
