Taking It To The Streets

Once again this year, our church didn't do the annual fall festival but instead "took it to the streets" in the neighborhoods. We passed out candy and grilled 400 hot dogs~giving them out to neighbors and visitors ~ with no strings attached. Thanks to everyone who helped us grill and serve our neighbors. It rained all day, until 5:30pm (the exact time we were scheduled to begin grilling). Our weather plan was to grill in the garage, but God was so good and allowed us to take it to the street literally! The rain held off until we had given out our last dog ~ again, God is so good!

Getting the party started
Out on the streets Carly giving away a hot dog
Ronnie and the one that got away!
The streets were busy all night
Best costume of the night ~ when asked what he was, he replied, "the boy who rides the ostrich". Of course, how could we not have known that!

Even in the drizzle, the hot dogs must be given away

Again, thanks to our friends for coming to help out in our neighborhood ~ 400 hot dogs given away in less than 3 hours. No telling how many trick or treaters we actually had. Special thanks to Gigi and Bubba for coming to help with Reagan and Cooper ~ keeping them occupied/entertained/bathed while we were serving our friends and neighbors.
