We had a busy Thursday, as my Dad and Grandma visited, and we were preparing for our evening at P&M. My Grandma is headed south for the winter, so it was nice to have the day to visit with her before her trip to Georgia.
As far as evening plans, Jim's work once again hosted Haunted Halls this year! Several staff decorate their offices in various Halloween themes (some scary, some not) and pass out candy. And the kids roam the hallways and trick-or-treat as they go. I thought this year would be the perfect time to have the twins go as Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm from the Flintstones. Incidentally, the Flintstones is also celebrating it's 50th anniversary of the first airing. Jim and I decided to join in on the fun this year, too and went as Fred and Wilma. I was both excited and hesitant to try dying my hair "Wilma orange". But after I doused an entire can of temporary hair color on my hair to no avail, I gave up! (Apparently my hair is too dark for that to work.) I also had a wig, but noted lots of operational issues with keeping it in place (without assistance), so I decided to just go without.
We enjoyed a nice dinner. And, the kids enjoyed lots of scary themed offices, a pink princess decorated office, a Haunted laboratory, a cookie decorating activity, and of course, more candy than any of us needed! Turns out the Flintstones were a big hit. The Manning Family took home two awards - Best Costume and Best Halloween Spirit!
We are thankful to the P&M team for hosting such a fun event and a warm, safe place to trick or treat.
We are taking ideas for costumes for next year, so let me know any thoughts!
Meet the Flintstones!
Time to get rolling
A quick snack break along the way....
Caveman favorite - tootsie pops!
