Night at the Museum

For Halloween our public museum does an indoor
Trick or Treat night. We love going because with October weather being somewhat unpredictable it makes it so much fun for the girls to be able to run around in whatever costumes they choose, and not have to worry about freezing outside. A bunch of costumed photos from our Night at the Museum...
 




















This is quite possibly one of the funniest photos I have taken in a while. The museum has a freight elevator which is only open to the public one time a year, during Halloween. They call it the Haunted Elevator. As we were waiting our turn, the people who boarded ahead of us were screaming and the elevator itself was making all kinds of scary creaking and clanging noises. I loved this pic because I can see the sheer terror in Rebekah eyes, the confused and a little scared but maybe eager excitement on Emma's face, and Alyssa just loves it, she was so excited! 3 funny girls, 3 completely different responses :-)


 Turns out the Haunted Elevator wasn't so scary after all. Just a spooky {but not too spooky} forest with some howling and boos.


 In addition to trick or treating, there were craft stations set up throughout the museum.


 One of the crafts used black lights, and Rebekah's dress lit up so pretty. She looked like an angel.


 The girls loved running around the little villages in the Mexico and Guatemala exhibits. We visit the museum often, but it's somehow very neat and a different experience to visit the different areas dressed in costume.


 




















Princess Cinderella. She got this pretty dress over the summer on vacation when Grandmommy let her pick out whatever she liked at the Disney Store. Thank you, she felt like a real Cinderella for sure!!


 




















Little Ladybug Girl. There's a tiny story behind this costume as it was also her halloween costume when she was only 4 years old. Rebekah wore it over the summer to VBS on one of the dress up days. Since then in July, Kahiwa as been determined to reclaim this ladybug outfit as HERS! Dressing up for halloween was the perfect opportunity for her to do so.


 




















Sacajawea. Although Alyssa thought she turned out looking like Tiger Lily from Peter Pan, she was going for Sacajawea. I told her she looked great, no matter which Indian Princess she chose. Definitely very high fashion in the gold sparkly fringed dress! The dress was given to her by my grandmother, and when we read a book a about Sacajewea a couple of months ago, she knew right away what she wanted to wear for her costume. Thank you, Nani! She made the head band herself. She found this drum set up for a special presentation and fit right in.


 Happy Halloween.

Thank you so much to G&G who took the girls to "Trunk or Treat" as well and for all the yummy candy they gave the girls ~ the girls tore into the Reese's cups right away! And also thank you to Grandmommy and Granddaddy who sent the girls all kinds of yummy Hawaiian cookies, they have been bringing them in their lunches to school, although Kamele seems to be trying to eat all the animal crackers herself. They loved the pencils and stickers. Thank you, Ku'u for the delicious pound cake too!! XOXOXOXO
