Page 94 of Cadenbury Town Does Halloween
“Still my favourite,” I say grinning.
CHAPTER 38
We arrive at the fair. We’ve all dressed up in Halloween costumes for the night. As soon as we all got home, we changed so we were ready for the children's Trick or Treating.
Both Nora and Connie, are in their matching wolf costumes and they look so cute. Lots of pictures were taken of them and all of us. I think we all had fun striking different poses and we all look amazing.
Titus and Kean areBeetlejuice and Lydia, with Kean in the red wedding dress. I secretly think he really does like the dress.
Temp and Ben are dressed asGhostbusters, complete with the proton packs.
Nix and Cam are dressed asThe Blues Brothers, they actually look good in the suits and hats.
Sal and Jude are dressed asThor and Loki, both of them rocking the looks, although it’s weird seeing Jude with long hair. Jude is carrying his hammer and Sal a staff, plus he’s wearing the weird headdress.
Alfred and Justice are dressed asGru and Kevin the Minion. And the best bit is, Justice is the minion. I have no idea how Alfred talked Justice into that!
Adhan is dressed as a pirate, and he is seriously rocking the look. I’m dressed as a Captain from the 1800’s British Navy.
Emily is dressed as a Victorian lady in the most amazing royal blue riding outfit.
My parents made me laugh when they turned up. Ma was dressed as a 1920’s flapper, and Pa as a 1920’s gangster.
Ebby, Sly and the boys are dressed up as characters from Star Wars. Sly isHan Solo, Ebby isLuke Skywalker, Xander isKylo Renand Enoch is Yoda.
Sion and Cass are dressed up as cowboys.
Clarence and Callum came asDay of the Deadcharacters.
I was surprised how many children knocked on the front door. It was fun seeing them in their costumes as we handed out sweets. I thought kids liked being ghosts or witches, but I’ve not seen one ghost costume yet, I have seen a lot of witches though.
It always makes me laugh, that we teach children to never accept sweets from a stranger and then Halloween comes around and they get sweets from strangers.
Nix and Cam took Nora, Xander and Enoch out trick or treating and they all had great fun.
I’m glad the boys feel safe with all of us now. And of course, the boys and Nora had to show Pa their haul.
But now here we are at the fair. We’re going to take some rides, then walk the haunted walk. I’m not sure I have it in me to walk through the haunted house, to be honest. I’m sure no one will mind.
We also didn’t have dinner this evening, everyone opting for totally unhealthy fair food.
As a family we've decided to ride the ghost train together, so we go and queue up.
Elliot is walking past and laughs when he sees our costumes. “It’s a shame there isn’t an award for best fancy dress. Pretty sure Kean would win hands down.”
“Look I’m a bell,” Kean says, swishing from side to side, making us all laugh.
“Are you joining us on the ride?” I ask him.
“You know what? I think I will,” Elliot replies.
The train carts start coming out of the tunnel and as people get out, the family starts going in.
Sly, Ebby and the boys are in the first one. Adhan, Emily, Elliot and I take the next one.
Before we even head off, I send a bit of magic into the tunnel. From the corner of my eye, I see Temp sending magic out and pretty sure Sly did as well. I’d be surprised if the others don’t. This should be an interesting ride and a moment later our cart starts moving.
I burst out laughing when I hear Sly, Ebby and the boys yell and then laugh.
