Halloween Party and M Dressed Up

We had the coolest Halloween party this year. It was 80's themed and we planned an "Amazing Race" around Boise/Meridian. We started out at the corn maze and had to get 10 of the 12 whole punches around the maze.
The next clue led us to Big Jud's where we had to eat a huge burger and fries but on the way we had to interact with strangers. We chose a family at the elementary school and played "ring around the rosies" with them. After we ate the food, the people at Big Jud's gave us our next clue. On our way to one of the big parks in Boise we had to do a Chinese fire drill. At the park we had to find a big tree an memorize a few facts to take to Shamaries house and tell her daughter. When we told the correct facts, we got our next clue, which was to play Dance Dance Revolution and get a "B" on it. Well, it was my game so we were the first to pass that and get our word search with scrambled words that led us to our next clue -- to relay on foot three miles to a house where one team member would shoot a gun and had to get a bull's eye. Then we got our next clue, which was to eat a half gallon of ice cream (between the team) and the next clue was at the bottom. That led us to a farm where we finished by milking a cow. It was a super cool party.

Friday, Saturday, and Sunday were all dress up days for M. She got to be an Angel, a Renaissance princess, and Sleeping Beauty. She was an angel to a dress up play group on Friday. Saturday, we went to the ward trunk-or-treat (which really stunk, by the way. We brought six bags of awesome candy and were out in five minutes and everyone gave us smarties and Dum Dums -- not to complain but we are totally bringing wuss candy next year).
On the actual Halloween day we went to our friends' house to trick-or-treat and they were just leaving to go themselves so they invited us to go around with them, which we did for two hours. M loved it and so did we!

That sounds like such a fun Halloween party. Love your costumes. That picture of Morgan with the big wig on is too funny.
