Halloween 2012

This year for Halloween Brian wanted to be a ghost and Eli a pumpkin.  

 You would think ghost costumes are easy to come by, but they aren't.  So I bought a sheet, and after deciding the whole "sheet-over-the-head-with-eye-holes" thing wasn't going to work for him, I made this white rain poncho thing.  Most people figured it out.

 We went down to Fremont, a neighborhood a few blocks south of us, where the merchants were offering trick-or-treating.  Our fist stop was the troll.  Very fitting for Halloween!  Plus it was raining, so it was nice to stop under the bridge.  I wasn't sure what to expect as far as trick-or-treating, but it was great; almost all of the stores were participating and there were lots of kids!

 My little trick-or-treaters going from the record store to the bookstore.  

 Walking through Fremont, looking for the trick-or-treating signs.  

 We found the bubble guy performing too!  The boys had a lot of fun catching the giant bubbles.  

 Eli looking at the decorated statue of Lenin.  

 This is how it was, kind of weird for a former suburbanite.  We wandered through many clothing shops, coffee shops, and even a bar or two.  This is a dessert store... yum!

We started to head home, but saw this sign and had to stop in!

 Yummy!
