Halloweekend!!

Last weekend we camped at Lake Rudolph in Santa Claus, Indiana for one of their Halloweekend celebrations. It was a busy weekend. There was PER-FECT weather. And a great time was had by all!
The kids were awake BEFORE the crack of dawn on Friday morning. Daddy kept them occupied with some cartoons on the iPad until the sun came up.
Mmmm . . . dry cereal by the campfire is the perfect way to start a day of camping.
Grace is a hat thief. Darn it . . . my hat looks better on her than it does on me!
Dan hooked the wagon to Sam's four-wheeler so he could take Grace and Jake for a ride.
Nora hung out by the campfire with us in the morning too.
Two campsites from us was a family who decorated their campsite to the hilt. It was amazing! Gabriel and Jackson could not wait to go down and see it. I took Grace into this campsite so she could see it too. She was hesitant to go into the "ghoulish graveyard." We took about four steps in when she started to to scream and cry. Ha! Poor kid! This was not the year to visit scary campsites.
We celebrated Daniel's birthday after dinner Friday night. I think he turned 21 again!
After a taste of cookie cake, Alicia, Kaitlyn, Grandma, Sam, Gabriel, Grace, and I went to the pavilion to see It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.
When the movie was over, we got in line for the hay ride. It took a while, but we got our turn to ride around the park.
It was a chilly ride though, and we had some sleepy kids.
Saturday morning the kids were up-and-at-em early.
Daddy teased his big boy.
Grandma brought edible necklaces for the kids to make Saturday.
Sam decorated his four-wheeler for the Halloweekend celebration.
It wasn't long after breakfast, and it was time to head up the hill to the carnival.
The kids colored a tote bag for collecting trick-or-treat candy. They also played several games like a toilet paper toss, a duck pond, a sucker tree, and bean bag toss.
The bean bag toss was one of the last games the kids played. At each game the kids won some sort of prize, no matter the outcome of the game.
Saturday night was trick-or-treat night. Gabriel --- I mean --- Heat Blast was pretty pumped about trick or treating at the graveyard campsite. The kids had nicknamed it "The Dungeon."
Grace --- uhmm . . . Bat Girl was SO excited to trick or treat. I love that you can see her pig tails flying as she ran from campsite to campsite.
At some campsites bowls of candy are left out for the trick or treaters to help themselves. We tried to teach our kiddos to be considerate of others and only take one piece of candy from the bowls. Some bowls just had too many yummy choices though.
Trick or treating was a blast for the kids!
Antiquated Pyramid Man drove our golf cart while the kids collected their candy.
Grace hitched a ride with the McAfee's and Gettelfinger's.

We love Fall camping! Halloweekend has got to be one of the most fun weekends of our entire year! We've already got our campsites reserved for next year!
