Welcome to Halloween in Utah

This year for Halloween Caden was a hunter, Sidney a clown (which freaked Jens out even though it was his own sister) Jens was a Cowboy's fan and Molly was Fancy Nancy. About 2 minutes before we took this picture a wicked hail storm came in. The wind was blowing so hard and I was thinking that the power might get knocked out. We were actually just about to walk outside to take the picture when it hit.
We waited for the storm to pass and then we went out when it was only lightly raining. I should have taken a picture of my deck with all the hail on it. The sky was so dark. The kids quickly ran around our neighborhood.
But we got a pretty rainbow out of the storm. I remember when I was a kid going out trick or treating several times IN snow. Halloween costumes always have to be designed around a sweat suit or coat. Miss Molly wanted to be a fairy. But I told her sorry, you live in Utah! No one would even see the costume. They would only see the jacket you wore. And if she was Fancy Nancy, then she could wear the pink fur costume coat which would go right along with something Nancy would wear.
About 1 hour later it was finally done storming. You can see in the top right corner where the clouds have opened up and the sky is light. That is how light the sky should have been all over but it isn't, it's totally black. We went over to Jeff's brother Sam's house for our annual Halloween dinner and trick or treating with the cousins.
Cade was really excited because he got "school milk" from some older lady in Sam's neighborhood. I thought it was odd......... but he was excited. All the kids got one so I let him drink it.
Alli,(katelyn's friend) Katelyn and Sidney the clowns. All the cousins came on both sides of the family plus half of them brought a friend so there were 20+ kids.
Molly and the little girl cousins.
Jens and a few of his friends, the cousins and a couple of their friends.
