This year, with the impending effects of Hurricane Sandy headed our way, we weren't sure we were going to be able to go Trick or Treating. So we dressed the kids up and went down to the Natick Common for the Natick Spooktacular. It was actually super fun!
The kids were so cute dressed up in their costumes. We colored Natalie's hair red so that she could look like Aeriel the Little Mermaid. Grant was a character from the movie "Cars" - Tow Mater, the tow truck.
The first stop at the Natick Spooktacular was at the "try-to-eat-a-donut-on-a-string-without-using-your-hands" booth. As you can see, Natalie was doing a pretty good job at this!
Meanwhile, Little Buddy just grabbed ahold of that chocolate donut and went to town! Forget the rules, I'm hungry for donuts!
The fire department also did a Punkin' Chuckin' event where a firefighter climbed up to the top of one of the ladder trucks and dropped pumpkins on a target (and in a trash can!) Grant had his fingers in his ears the whole time, although he did talk about it later as if he enjoyed it!
Next, the kids got to go around to the various businesses around the downtown Natick area and get candy. Grant just wanted to eat whatever he got, immediately.
The Vitti girls came with us- and you can see all three of the girls smiled nicely for the camera. We tried to get Grant to join in the picture, but he just wanted to stand against the wall behind the girls!
After trick or treating was over, we went back to the Common and ran around a bit. We had to stop and take a quick candy break. You can see Grant was having some difficulty with the Tootsie Roll he was eating. He did not care for all of that stickiness in his teeth!
