The Halloween Spirit

As promised I'm posting some pictures from our Halloween camping trip. We went camping at Cross Creek Camping Resort which is nice and close. It was our last camping trip of the year and we had an awesome time!

Matthew eating (what else does he do?) at the picnic table. You can see the 4 trash cans full of kindling behind Matthew.  Our neighbor cut down their tree and gave us these trash cans full of sticks.  I thought it would last all weekend.

Nope.

It lasted 3 hours!  4 trash cans of wood! So we had to get some bigger pieces of wood.  We needed fire.

We stuffed ourselves with smores, pizza pies, brats cooked on the fire, not to mention candy!  The kids trick or treated all around the campground. We brought a huge bag of 120 pieces of candy from Sams and ran out halfway through trick or treat!  The kids got good candy too (aka chocolate, not sweet tarts, tootsie rolls, or dumdums).

Several of the campers decorated their campsites for Halloween - some went all out!

Like these people.

And these people.

We put orange lights around this tree.  Go us! 

The campground had a picture frame Halloween craft for the kids.  The girls loved it.

There was also a costume contest.  Matthew was a little unhappy.

Matthew and Daddy enjoying the fire.

This was a great camping year for us. We had so many good trips - hopefully next year will be even better!
