As we were getting ready to say good bye to Arkansas and her family, we received a phone call that my mom's father had passed away. The funeral was on Halloween, so we all loaded up in the motor home and headed to the airport to pick Teresa up on our way to Ione. It was a sad time for our family but it was also nice to see so many family members we haven't seen in so long. The funeral was very nice yet emotional.

On our way home, we stopped in Spokane and stayed the night at a camp ground on the river, the kids had fun feeding the ducks
We went on a beautiful hike along the river
Then dad helped the kids try and fish
So we were in an empty camp ground and its Halloween....so I had to become creative :) I had already bought candy for them and decided to do a kind of Easter egg hunt/Halloween candy hunt haha Mom and I went around an area of the camp ground and hid candy in trees, on rocks, behind rocks and in the grass. While they were looking for the candy it got dark fast lol so they had to hunt good for their candy. They had so much fun, I think I did pretty good for last minute Trick or Treating!!!!
There was a ghostly fog in this pic
As we were walking around looking for the candy I found this lil stump that was marked with a V for Vanessa ;)
