Many of you know about the Polar Express train ride in Lindon. We had heard that they do a halloween train ride but we had never tried it. This year we did. It was very cute. All the kids dressed up and we brought some friends with us. We went around 4 so that it wasn't dark so the kids wouldn't get scared. They had a lot of fun.
We of course carved pumpkins. The kids were a little more helpful this time. Tate and Kyli were able to help clean out all the guts, and help cut their's out.
For years Kalun has wanted to sit on the porch and scare trick-or-treaters. I have never let him because we lived in such a young neighborhood that I was worried he's make everyone cry. Well this year I caved. He looked more excited than a kid at Christmas. He's the freaky gray thing with the white mask. So we set out our candy on the porch and Kalun crouched next to it in the bushes. It looked so funny most parents that came up with their kids thought he wasn't real. I warned him to take it easy on the little kids but he could scare the older ones. So he would sit there really still while they rumaged through the bowl and then he would growl "just take one" or something and everyone would jump and scream. It was actually really funny. He got a few neighbor ladies pretty good that were out with their kids. He also got a bunch on YM and YW really good. The only sad story was this cute little 8 year cub scout of ours (we were both in cub scouts at the time). Kalun figured that he was 8 so he could handle a good scare. So he jumped and scared them. This poor little boy was terrified, he ran off crying and jumped in his mom's car. So, needless to say Kalun spent lot's of time trying to win this little kid back over. He's still a little scared of Kalun. Overall though, it was a very fun Halloween.
