Trick or Treat!

Our Super Heroes to the rescue!

We trick or treated at the outlet mall in Park City this year.  It was a perfect day the kids LOVED going into all the stores and yelling TRICK OR TREAT!  They got their faces painted and made a haul on candy!  They were so excited to get back home to give other kids candy at the door!  Halloween was so much fun with our two fantastic super heroes!  They even got to wear their super cool costumes to school...It doesn't get any better than that!
