There was a "zoo break" this Halloween. The Gorilla in the "Goodnight Gorilla" story let us all out to play.
Edison reprised his role as a giraffe. When asked about it, he said, "I had it already." So being green is already part of his mindset. But it is a little tight... so probably won't be able to get away with the giraffe next year!
We took the kids trick-or-treating at the Mill Creek Town Center in the afternoon. It was a surprisingly beautiful day.
Charlotte was a champ - she marched up and down the street with her basket and really liked putting the treats in and out.
The giraffe was hungry and had to stop and eat some leaves.
My dad as well as my Aunt Deborah and Uncle David came up for dinner and some "light" trick-or-treating on our street. My dad improvised this scarecrow costume...
The kids were tired but excited about their loot at the end of the evening. Edison had chosen the pumpkin designs last week - do you think the giraffe (left pumpkin) ended up looking like Edison's giraffe? One trick or treater told me it looked like Hercules? Hmmmm.... Mickey Mouse was much more recognizable, though!
Despite flying cross-country the day before, Deborah and David got into the Halloween spirit with these great costumes! (can you believe that mustache is a fake? it definitely fooled me!)
My Aunt Deborah's visits, though often brief, always fill my spirit with joy!
