Happy Halloween from the FL Keys!

I know this is a little late, but I wanted to share with everyone how our Halloween went down here. It was different than back home in the sense that down here, all the kids go to one neighborhood and trick-or-treat there. It was really cool because there were kids EVERYWHERE!! and not only little kids, their were the teenagers, and all these adults all hanging out in the same area. It was like a giant block party. Tyler and I kind of forgot about dressing up so we didn't have costumes...

We were really excited to see what all the hype was about though! We went over to Catherine and Mike's first, where we got to see the kids in their costumes. Ella and Violet were both Belle, and Jack was peter pan! They were SOOO excited to go trick-or-treating!

Being crazy in the car on the way! Our first stop was this shopping center in the middle of Marathon. I was a little confused when we pulled up because I didn't understand why we were at a shopping center. But I guess the tradition started when hurricane Willma came through and no one had anywhere to trick-or-treat. This shopping center stepped up, and decided to help the kids out. So each business had a little table out front and gave candy to all the kids. It was really cool!

This one place had a giant inflatable black cat! You know me with the decorations....don't worry I was taking notes! But Jack thought it was pretty cool! haha.

These people had a fake coffin full of candy! Very cool idea!

Ella and Jack were so cute! They would just go up to people and talk, they forgot the idea was to get candy!

Jack thought this inflatable Tigger was pretty cool too!

Violet was so cute in her princess costume!

Ella helped show me around and "taught" me what to do! haha.

After the shopping center, we headed over to the neighborhood. One family was having a party so we stopped there to get some food. We walked around to a few more houses, but by then it was getting dark so we headed home. It ended up being a really fun night and we got to meet a lot of new people too.

Jack was excited to show off his Peter Pan. He kept saying "I'm the best Peter Pan out there!" haha.

Trigger and Bear did a nice job holding down the fort at home. Jeff says he hasn't had trick-or-treaters in years, so I guess we didn't have anyone come over to our place, but we had a good time hanging out with friends!
