Hallelujah Harvest, 2009

Hallelujah Harvest this year was really fun for the kids, but I think I may have enjoyed it more than they did this year! Rachel went as an Asian Princess again, and Sam, of course, went as Batman (the costume that Cole gave him). He actually has been practicing his "Batman techniques" for months now, but that's another blog entry.

Rachel and Katie got into the boxing ring this year, which had me laughing hysterically! Neither of them were strong enough to hold the 400 pound, over sized boxing gloves up to do any damage, so they both ended up just bouncing around and falling into each other for the entire time. Rachel also ended up winning a CD for answering a question correctly! She is very proud of her winnings!

Sam got into his own bounce house as well. I mean, Batman. He was one of the smaller kids in the bounce house, so all of the larger kids kept cheering him on. At one point, he got up his nerve, and actually used his "powers" on the entire group of kids! They all played along, and fell down dead! It was so insanely funny!

After the Hallelujah Harvest, I took Rachel and Sam over to Angelyn's to go trick-or-treating in her neighborhood. This was Sam's first ever experience at trick-or-treating, and Rachel hadn't been in so long! They both had the times of their lives! At one point, all I could see of the kids were their silhouettes running through the air. Sam's Batman ears and cape just made me chuckle nearly every time!

This Halloween was so much fun! I can only hope that next year, we get to have as much fun with family and friends!!
