Trunk or Treat

Initiated following Katrina when there were no homes left for kids to trick or treat at.......
There was so much devestation following Katrina, that several of the churchs in the area decided to have people come to the church in their cars and trucks, with their candy in the trunk or on the back of the truck. They park, open up their trunks, some set up decorations and such, and the kids come and walk around the parking lot visiting each vehicle where they are given their treats.

It's so cool. A church about 5 miles from here has a really good one each fall--we drive down, park in the parking area, get out, walk around the area designated for the treating and, once around, we get in our car and drive home. No cruising the subdivisions, no wondering who has treats and who doesn't, no wasted gas, no slow driving, no getting in and out of the car.

The church below us where the girls go on Wednesday nites for GA's, is having one after GA's, Wednesday. It won't have the traffic that Union Church does, but it is mainly for the children who attend on Wednesday nite, and there are about 20 or so of them.

So no, it's not a typo......it's a really neat and simple way to trick or treat. I love it because I know all the folks participating so I can visit a bit while the girls are filling up their container with treats......like they really need them.

I'll get some pics of the girls up after Friday. Ana got a red devil dress, Shan got this awesome coppery colored fairy dress and Stacie is dressing up as a cat. I haven't decided if I want to go to the effort to dress up----hmmm......maybe I flower? or a wrinkled old woman.....oh, I wouldn't have to work hard for that one!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
