Trunk or Treat - BUST!

SOOOO.....I had high hopes of taking Madden to his first Trunk or Treat/Fall Carnival this year. It was at a local church and was to be loads of fun for him. In fact, he couldn't wait to go! He was dressed up in his fireman costume (minus the jacket because it was 90 degrees!) and had his candy bucket ready.

We arrived.

He was cautious upon entering (as usual to new places....he is SUCH his mama!)

This horse greeted us and he reluctantly approached it with our neighbors to pat its nose.


He was NOT having it.



Can't you just see the excitement on his face????????




.....and then the firetruck was spotted and that was "the end". You see, Madden LOVES firetrucks. LOVES THEM! We drive by the firestation about 4 times each day.....but he is TERRIFIED of firetrucks and firemen in person. So, when he saw the firetruck at the Trunk or Treat, he was DONE. Ready.To.Go.

So, we left. Mommy was frustrated. Madden was relieved. And Daddy was happy we only had to stay 15 minutes! Ha!

Maybe next year....
