Treat-'n-a-Trunk

Treat-'n-a-Trunk last night was great! Quite a few of our Eastside Family showed up in their vehicles with lots of candy in hand. Some came straight from work... some were all decked out in costume... some were in street clothes with big smiles... all showed their hearts to be warm and full of love as they greeted kids from the neighborhood, from Harbour Lights Preschool, and from church. Ruth had arranged to have a couple of those inflatable bounce houses and a cotton candy machine to round out the evening. I think most of the kids had more fun bouncing and playing than collecting candy. More than one parent was overheard saying something like, "Come on, Johnny, don't you want to stop playing now and go get candy?" The evening was a hit with the neighborhood parents who came by with their kids. I pray that this event will grow bigger and better each year. Here are some pics of the evening...

It looks like we missed a fun time! But you're right... trying to fight the traffic to get there would have been problematic at best, especially considering Brian didn't even get home until almost 5pm.

Rick, I loved the pictures from your Treat-n-Trunk. It looked like a ton of fun. Hope all is well is California. Things are great in Arizona.
