Halloween Fun Night

Yesterday was Halloween Fun Night at Bagby Elementary, the girls' school. As you might expect, it featured kids in costumes, a bunch of carnival games, inflatables (bounce house type things), candy galore, a Haunted Halls, and, as it's also the school's biggest fundraiser of the year, a silent auction and raffle.
 Apparently, Minions say, "What?????!!!!"
 The huntress, showing off her technique.
 Waiting for the parade to start.
 Kindergarteners in costumes. So cute, except for the werewolf, which was actually a bit scary.
 On the parade route.
 The werewolf was not so scary without his head.
 Amalia trying out the ladder thing. Standing upright is not the way to go.
 The preferred belly-down technique.
 Still no guarantee of success.
 Winner! Winner! Winner!
 Shooting hoops. The games were all about getting candy.
 The girls tried several times to win me a cake at the cake walk.
 No luck. But we did come home with three small pumpkins.
Meanwhile, Andy was watching Stanford beat UCLA at the homecoming game. Look at all those Trees!
The team coming over after the game to sing our alma mater in front of the fans, and a whole bunch of alumni. Hail, Stanford, Hail.

Andy did make it back in time to accompany the girls through the "Haunted Halls," which got progressively scarier as the evening progressed--ending with actual costumed people jumping out and scaring the kids. Lily says it was her favorite part of Halloween Fun Night. Amalia refused to go back through after her earlier experience (lights on, no scary people).
