Halloween in Old Colorado City

This Halloween, we decided that we would go out to lunch and then trick or treat in Old Colorado City. This is where Abigail and I had gone with Lynda, and, I've been counting down the days until we could go with Christian. Fall in Colorado is absolutely breath taking, and, we were blessed with such a beautiful Saturday! The sky's were so blue, and, the temperature was either in the high 50's or low 60's. After being cooped up in the apartment with a sick husband and sick baby, I was so ready to get out into the fresh air.

We went to Lunch at the Bon Ton Cafe so that we would already be in the area where the trick or treating was happening. It was so much fun to eat while watching all of the kids walking by in their costumes. Abigail's nap must have been a really good one, because, she was in such a pleasant mood the entire time we were eating. Christian got a Philly Cheesesteak, I got a Buffalo burger, and, Abigail got the regular chicken strips and fries, haha. After we finished eating, we joined the other kids for trick or treating.

Now, last year, Halloween must have fallen on a Friday, because, I do not remember so many people then as there were this year. By the time we started, you could not walk at a very normal pace on the sidewalk. It wasn't unpleasant, just very crowded. Abigail still enjoyed herself very much, though. She was VERY interested in each piece of candy in her bucket. I had to empty it out every few stops just to make sure that she wasn't getting ahold of too much to suck on. We did let her have one or two tootsie rolls, though :-). After we were through trick or treating, we stopped by Deb's coffee house for the free coffee they were giving to parents and to take pictures in the garden area. We love how the pictures turned out!

When we got home, we rested for about an hour and then took Abigail through the apartment building. After that, we made dinner and handed out candy to the trick or treaters. :-)
