Mission Viejo Hometown Halloween Event

We dropped by on Saturday at the Norman Murray Community Center for Mission Viejo's annual Hometown Halloween event. It's sponsored by Saddleback Unified School district and geared for little tikes. It's not scary, there are games, pony rides, hay ride, arts and crafts and trick or treating. They never run out of candy and the kids get to practice saying trick or treat. Plus, they get to wear their costumes early and get more use out of them.  Ava decided to be a fairy princess and Charlotte picked out the giraffe head band and tail at Costume Castle. Ava had been saying she wanted to be a pink kitty cat for the last two months for Halloween. She picked out kitty ears and a tail at the costume shop but was not excited about the actual cat costumes that were black and brown. Once she passed the princess accessories aisle it was game over. She changed her mind about being a pink kitty cat and picked out pink fairy wings, a crown and wand. She has a white dress up gown at home to wear with her accessories. Mom and Dad made it out of the costume shop easy along with our 20% off coupon.
