My mom & I took the kids back to Fulton, IL to Heritage Canyon. It was "Beggar's Night". We had just recently heard about this tradition and decided to give it a try. While it didn't take long to walk around the canyon, it was a beautiful afternoon and we enjoyed our time there.
We chose the traditional "Little House on the Prairie" and "Davy Crockett" costumes, those seemed to fit the time frame a bit better than Hippies, Genies & Superman!

Afterwards, we visited the Fulton windmill since my mom had never seen it. We look forward to starting this as a family tradition.

We had a busy Halloween! The kids' school had a Halloween Parade just before school let out for the day.
We then headed to Matt's work for Trick-or-Treating around the office. This is a wonderful tradition that has been going on as long as Matt has worked there (6 years).
Next stop, Becki's parents and their neighbors (we call them aunt & uncle!). Here are the kids stopping at Grammy & Grandad's for some treats!
We then traveled across the river to my sister's house to trick-or-treat their neighborhood. We started this extended family tradition a few years ago and love having the kids trick-or-treating together.
A very long, fun day! Lots of candy and special treats!!
