Halloween || Idahome Style

The Kenagys do Halloween Idaho style.
​
Our church did a Harvest Carnival int he parking lot. We manned the Glow-in-the-Dark Bowling booth. Right between the popcorn stand and the Bean Bag Toss.
Our costumes:

• Dempsey: “dead” astronaut (Dempsey had his skeleton jammies on underneath his astronaut jammies)
• Sawyer: shark (jammies)
• Me: fawn (also jammies)
• Jake: Mr BaHumbug (because he didn't have a costume... only a NASA shirt to kind of go along with Dempsey's astronaut costume

If all our stuff wasn't in long term storage, Jake could have worn his Batman costume (jammies). Next year.

It was a smooth, laid back event. The busiest times of the event would be considered slow or empty by CA standards... and that is okay. The multi-generational element at our church is wonderful. Everyone played an important part in making the event function.

We are slowly making connections at the church and enjoy the biblical teaching in both the Sunday School class and the sermons. We look forward to experiencing this church in each season of the year and hopefully a few seasons of life as well. I personally love the fact that the church purposely does not over program the congregation. There are not events happening every night of the week. Instead, there are people who take on tasks for the community and congregation that are dear to them. One woman, who apparently loves to be busy serving, is collecting items or money to provide Christmas baskets for shut-ins, those in the hospital, or those who have been moved to a care facility. What a beautiful heart and ministry. I am eager to hear more about the hearts and service within this precious congregation as time marches on. Admittedly, it is a tad hard to be an extrovert in a church that has so many rich relationships already in the works. Yet, God is gracious in his leading of conversations and his provision of new connections that will hopefully become friends.

After Halloween came the roasting of pumpkin seeds. We used three different Wildtree seasonings for culinary experimentation.

• Chai Tea Mix
• Gourmet Sea Salt: Garlic
• Gourmet Sea Salt: Smoked
