We ended up celebrating Halloween three times this year, which was at least one (maybe two) times too many. Friday night, Coop and I went to a church party. He spent the entire time proudly announcing that he was Buzz Lightyear and that he could fly. And then he ran in circles around the yard.
(The take-off to flight.)
Saturday, we met Parker and his family at the Agricultural Hall of Fame in Bonner Springs, KS.
They had several activities available for kids, including a train ride around the premises:
Coop rode it several times.
The old-timey school house was open:
And kids (or their fathers, in our case) could roast marshmallows for s'mores.
Sunday afternoon, we met Parker and family up in Lawrence to go trick-or-treating down Mass St. That was a nightmare, and at least right now, mere hours after the event, I have no designs to ever go again. Ever.

I love Coop's costume so much. It just suits him perfectly, and he obviously had a fantastic time wearing it!
As for the downtown thing, I'm not sure if we'll do that again next year, either. That was wayyyyy more chaotic than I was expecting.
I don't think I would do the whole Lawrence thing either...I love kids on Halloween...especially the young ones who get genuinely excited about it. There's something to be said about feeding from a child's raw and unadulterated emotion
