Trunk or Treat

Tonight we went to a Trunk or Treat party at Luke's school. If you're not familiar with Trunk or Treat (I think it's a Utah thing), a bunch of families park their cars in a big circle, dress up their trunks in Halloween decor, and hand out candy. The kids also did a Halloween parade and sang some songs for the elderly folks at a nursing home located next to the pre-school.
Anna is dressed as a bumble bee (obviously) and Luke is a bagpiper. Luke's costume includes a 35-ish year old set of kid-size bagpipes, knit cap, and custom-made kilt, which matches the kilt worn by the FDNY pipe and drum band. They were Keith's when he was young and sometimes marched in parades with Bill and the band, so they are very meaningful and we're excited to have them. Bill also sent out the band's patch (which is sewn on Luke's shirt). 
We have a neighborhood Halloween party on Monday, followed by real trick-or-treating on the 31st, so we'll make good use of the costumes. And actually, the kilt is really long on Luke, so he'll be able to wear it again next year if he wants!
