I remember dressing up on halloween for our elementary school parade and then going out the night trick or treating. I don't really remember any ward party or anything else. Ever since Hyrum came around, we've had friend parties, ward parties, family parties, school parties, and THEN we get to the office trick or treating and finally the neighborhood deal.
This year we missed the school stuff, which made me a little sad, but it was probably more than made up for the fact that we were in California with the Flints for the day. The kids still didn't miss out on any chance to dress up.
At the beginning of the month, they went up to a community thing in Paradise, near Logan, with Grandma and Grandpa Hardcastle. I don't have all the pics, just a video of Milo on the run. There were spooky things, candy, hot dogs, train rides, everybody had a blast.

Then came witches night for the girls at Gardner Village.
We went to a pumpkin patch and picked out pumpkins for the kids with the Lafeen's.
The very competitive annual Hardcastle pumpkin carving contest.

And then finally, Halloween with Stella and the Flints in California.
