Halloween Party at Doug's Supermarket

We went to "Doug's Supermarket Annual Free Halloween Extravaganza" on Friday October 16th. They had many more activities that I thought they would, and many more children showed up that I expected. Think Walmart on a Sunday afternoon.

Here are the activities that we participate in:

First we stopped by the Police department Safety booth for a sticker an a coloring book.
Second we stopped by the coloring contest. Both kids sat down and colored a picture for the contest.








Next up was Guess the weight of the pumpkin. Talon Guessed 40lbs.
Sitting next to the Pumpkin was a booth with bug juice for the kids, no literally bug juice.

Green kool-aid with a gummy worm in it. I chose to pass on this but the kids enjoyed it. expecially Wyatt.


On to the bakery department where there was a cooking decorating station.



I made wyatt one but he never chose to eat it.

In the produce section there was someone making caramel apples so we got one for each kid (still sitting in the refrigerator by the way.

In the meat department they were serving Octopus hot dogs





One little 4 year old girl made the point that they were not real octopus because they didnt have enough legs. smart little girl.

In the Back of the store they had a Oreo Stacking contest. Talon stacked up 18 cookies in 30 seconds. The darn clown kept getting in the way so I didn't get good pictures

Both the kids got an Oreo and we moved on.


In the freezer section they were doing temporary tattoos




Next door in the dairy section they had a milk mustache contest. they used whipped cream for the effect.




Time for Ice Scream! er Ice cream! They had all the fixings for Banana splits so the kids got ice cream with chocolate on it.




Finally they were doing hay rides every 15 min. Talon was very excited but confused as to why they called it a hay ride when we were sitting on straw bails.


wyatt... not so much. he was not happy that we were on this trailer until we started to move. then every thing changed and the whole idea was very interesting.




We ended the morning (yes, we took the hay ride at exactly 12pm) and had lunch at the DQ and got Wyatt home just in time for his 1pm nap. He went almost right to sleep too.

a big day, only the one minor meltdown waiting for the hay ride to start. I even picked myself up a banana split blizzard at DQ as a prize for being an awesome mom and getting through an outing with everyone still in one piece.

By the way Suprise! Wyatt won the coloring contest for his age group. He won a fee movie rental from the store. Talon is bummed that he didn't win anything. But I explained that I think Wyatt was the only 2 year old to enter a picture so he won by default
