Trick or Treat California Style

I know I am behind on blogging but I have a good excuse, my computer hates me. It is painfully slow, so whenever I even think about updating I decide I don't want to wait around for my pictures to download. But today as I got on and realized it has been over a month I thought I better get with it and post what has been going on with the Johnsons!
So to start....Halloween day was a busy and very fun day. We started the day by catching a flight to Sunny California to visit Steve's brother Mike and his family. As you can see in the picture Teagan is very excited to get on the plane. I don't know why but whenever I take pictures Teagan always has to do some ninja pose. It must be a boy thing!!
When we landed we made our way to Steve's brother's house, and luckily for us Briana's (sister-in-law) mom invited us over for a Halloween dinner. The kids were a little nervous because we were told we were having snake for dinner, and I must say it was very good. But after they saw that the snake was really a sandwich they relaxed and chowed down.
This year Kylie wanted to be a lady bug and Teagan Mickey Mouse. Do you notice a difference from Trick-or-Treating in California compared to Idaho. My kids are in shorts and t-shirts. It was so nice not to bundle up and cover the costumes with coats and snowpants. Poor little Teagan was sweating in his costume. I think we might have to make a tradition of going to California on Halloween. The only problem I had was no one handed out Smarties or Tootsie Rolls, that is the only reason I let my kids go trick or treating is to get me those. Out of two bags full of candy we got a total of 5 tootsie rolls and 0 smarties. I couldn't believe it, but they got a ton of M&M's and snickers, I guess that will have to do.
