Rah ran up to the car when Shane and I got back from Costco. He asked Shane to ask me to take them on a trail ride while I put up groceries.
Instead, I offered to take the both of them downtown for the City trick-or-treat event. Rah got permission and then I went to double-check (there was confusion last time).
Shane went as a Wild Kratt and I gave Rah a minion hat.
First stop, the Discovery Museum. I wanted to get my parking validated (I highly recommend joining if you're the parent of a youngster and you like to go downtown).
Then it was candy central. I think the Parks and Rec people were trying to offload their stash so they didn't have to pack up as much. The gave out candy by the handful. Rah went back to ask a question and got two handfuls and a surprised look on his face..
The games were supposed to end at 4:30 PM before we arrived. However, the bounce houses hadn't been torn down yet. Shane and Rah sprinted over and got to be one of the final groups to hop around.
At least we got to see some of the stuff. I had intended to aim for the end to avoid tracking Shane in a large crowd.
We all got to see different people we knew. I would have loved to have stayed and talked more, but the boys were constantly on the move.
We walked up and down the whole area.
The boys wanted to check if the bounce house was up one last time.
They ended up running around the pavilion before I said I was done for the day.
It took a lot longer than expected to return home. I parked on floor 2 out of 4 of the Market St Lot and it took over 15 minutes to get out of the garage.
Shane and Rah didn't mind. They ate candy, talked, and listened to Hank the Cowdog (it was on at least).
