Mall trick or treating

Since the boys were gone all day we found several free things that were going on tonight. After a lot of thought we decided to take the kids to a trunk or treat at another one of the local churches. When we got there the place was deserted. I am not sure what happened but the site we got it off of is a good one so we figured it had to be a typo of the date or time...either way, we needed to go with plan B which was trick or treating at the mall.

I was pretty excited about this. I had never done this but thought it would be pretty cool. The sad thing was by the time we got there most of the stores were pretty much out of candy. Apparently, they had a record number of people compared to previous years and even though you could go from 4 to 6 they were pretty much out of candy within the first 30 minutes. People were in line for over an hour and a half waiting. Craziness!!! We got there at 4:45 and thankfully we found a few stores that still had a stash. They kids are still young and didn't know the difference between all the stores and a few stores so we were able to leave with some happy kiddos. They also had crafts and activities for the kids but we decided that could wait until next year.
