Experience childlike fun this Halloween

As you can see everywhere you turn, Halloween is coming up. Let us have some fun - what costumes would you have the president wear for Halloween? How about the leaders in Congress?

We need to celebrate a holiday like Halloween with fun and humor and delight. I remember, I loved going trick-or-treating all over Cedar Falls and dressing up in my Halloween costume. Or carving my pumpkin into my Halloween jack-o-lantern. We need to bring this back to our children and our grandchildren. And of course the parents, stepparents and grandparents too. We have lost this childlike meaning of Halloween.

This Halloween, with your children, experience the Halloween you remembered as a child. Go shopping together and have a good time picking out your costumes. Take pictures and send them to the grandparents. Or even better if in town, stop over and show them your Halloween costumes.
