We just went to the Botanical Gardens at the university here in town and it was a very simple hike. Halfway in to the hike we came across this stage that the boys thought was pretty cool. They all got up on it and then decided that they wanted to sing a song for the parents. While trying to think of a song Jacob yells out, " I know Mom, we could sing I am a Child of God!" I just laughed and said that the other boys didn't know that song because it was a church song. This was with a group of 6 adults and three other scouts. So, they sang a school song instead.
After the hike, a nap, and dinner we were ready for trick or treating. It was 90 degrees and humid, so the boys were a little hot in their costumes, but they did OK.
Here is Steven as Obi
Nathan as a Ninja
Jacob as Spiderman
Brandon as a cow (the black pants got put on later)
Since the houses are a little further a part here, people all drive their kids around. They either take golf carts or just keep the trunk of their van open and the kids just hop in and out. Do they do that in other places? The street was lined with cars moving at a very slow pace. The boys made out with plenty of candy, and now we are done until next year.

Looks and sounds like a fun exhausting day! Thanks for sharing!
Wow. You packed it in.
That's so funny that you are the Tiger leader. I was just called to be the Wolf/Bear den mother. But instead of saying "Why not?", I said "Why me?" I guess I need an attitude adjustment.
The boys look great in their costumes. And jumping out of a trunk... they'll be all ready for the morning paper route in the future.
hot and humid? It sounds so odd to hear someone say that about Halloween while we here in the Northwest have to put solid colored sweat suits under the outfits to keep warm and pray for no rain. The boys have all grown so much!!!!
I love the costumes! Great job. Sounds like you had a full holiday with the week before. I'm sure it didn't used to be this big. Great job on the tiger hike, and I love the uniforms!
Awww! How sweet! Here the weather was fairly cool....around 55 degrees, but halfway through the evening it started pouring down rain! Kids still had fun, though!
