Halloween Playday & Chuckwagons

Oct 20, 2007 -
Jaden's playgroup had a pre-Halloween party at one of the mom's house. It was great fun for the kids. They got to run around the house in their costumes playing with each other and enjoying yummy snacks. Caroline decorated her house so cool complete with large boxes converted into playhouses and funny tombstones in the front yard. Jaden was Spiderman this year. It's funny how kids pick out what they want to be. Jaden's never seen a Spiderman cartoon or even read a Spiderman book, but he know's he is someone that is cool looking and, well...that's about it. Isn't that all you need?

Afterwards, Jaden, Jeremy and I went over to a park in McKinney where they were having a chuckwagon competition. Teams competed in two categories - 1) how original/authenic their chuckwagon was and 2) everyone made the same meal chuckwagon style (over a fire pit in the ground cooking in cast iron pots and pans) and submitted it to judges for tasting. We walked around and visited various chuckwagons and absorbed a little bit of history.

Yee-haw!!!
