Halloween~COVID style

 We really weren't sure what to do for Halloween this year.  We usually go to Church Street in Black Mountain but they decided not to have a celebration due to COVID which I totally understand.  We wouldn't have gone in that crowd anyway.  A friend of mine told me about a campground that has trick or treating and everyone decorates their campers.  We made a reservation at Steel Creek Campground and made the drive to Morganton.  

It was awesome!  Everyone really went full out on the decorations.  The kids got more candy than they have ever gotten.  We all had so much fun.  I think we might go back again next Halloween!



Of course, Emma made friends with our neighbor.


This guy was a piece of work.  


First round of candy


Emma the vampire queen.  She did her own makeup, of course.




Myles and Emmett.  Myles was a poker player and I'm not sure what Emmett was.




Creating their costumes.  In deep discussion.

The Thoroughbred Center Show


Emma had her first horse show.  We went down to Winston Salem for the big event.  She was a little nervous as she didn't know what to expect.  She did great!  It was a busy event and took a long time but she rode like a champ.  She even received a few blue ribbons.  Way to go Emma!


Waiting for the show to start



Em and Melissa, her instructor





She sure looks the part

Emma swore that she got the blue ribbons for "smiling"

After the show we rented scooters and checked out the city



It was a fun get away
