The first thing we did when we got there was to go on the hayride.
There was a balloon archway to fun and games with face painting, a fish pond, a beanbag toss and a whole lot more that I could hardly get to for all the characters in attendance! These were the activities for the first hour.
The cupcake walk was pretty fun. It was a musical chairs game and when the music ended and you sat down, they called a number. If you sat on the chair with the winning number, you got the cupcake!
Popcorn anyone?
The second hour was for Trick-or-Treating trunk-to-trunk.
We decorated Suzanne's trunk and passed out bags of popcorn. But our 87 bags were gone in no time! We probably should have done 3 times that much!!
Alice's Mad Hatter and Red Queen are none other than the Adkins!
Wow! Brother Harper is quite the chick magnet!
And this elf looks just like... Sister Harper!
Kamryn is the pumpkin, Adam is Harry Potter and Jacob is the clown.
Chandler, or rather, The Sorcerer's Apprentice, is posing here with Sister Quinonez.
This sweet flower is our own Little Miss Lydi!
Ginny Brown is Super Woman and her sister Lilly is a real live version of her sock puppet, LaVerne.
And this is Irisa Fox as the Wicked Witch of the West!
... there was a great confusion about religion here in Palmyra, New York. From this small home, 14 year old Joseph Smith read in James 1:5 that "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not and it shall be given him". So he went out to the grove of trees behind his house to do just as the scriptures advise. In answer to his prayer about which church to join Joseph was visited by God, The Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, and was told to join none of them.
