My family has never been one to celebrate Halloween. My brothers and I were never allowed to trick-or-treat and we only passed out candy a few times. Normally, we would lock up the house and go see a movie. More recently, we've been camping with our favorite family and friends, but this year it was changed.
The past few years our church has had a Harvest Party on the 31st. Like I said, I've always been camping, so I've never really been able to help at any. This year was different. I spent all day setting up tables and carving pumpkins awaiting the children's arrival. It was fun.
As the hours past, kids started to come in. There was a ninja, a rock star, Little Red Riding Hood, Dorothy; We had it all. From Hide and Seek to hay rides, the kids loved it. In my opinion, harvest parties are much more fun than trunk or treating. The idea of walking around a parking lot, getting candy, and leaving just doesn't sound appealing. Fortunately, I'm too old for all of it. :)
After the party, me and my sisters {yes, they're all my sisters} went to Chick-Fil-A to see our other sister {again, don't question it} who was working. She was dressed up as Robin Hood and needed to be seen. While we were there, everyone got a little...tired? I'm not sure what you would call it. They were making some of the weirdest jokes I had ever heard.
"Ya know, you don't have any off the wall poses."
"Well, technically she does because she isn't touching the wall..."
She was tired. :) All together, it was a very good day.
