All Hallow's Eve EXTRAVAGANZA

Oh yes. Here we are - Alan from "The Hangover" and the Robert Palmer video girl. It's embarrassing, but we got out of the house and had real conversation with adults, so all worthwhile.

The morning of Halloween, Nana was visiting because she babysat the night before so Mommy and Daddy could go to the adult beverage party. We decided to go run around at the Arboretum Fun, fun!

You'll note above that Iris is completely airborne. It's impressive.
After all that frolicking, a girl needs a breather!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.......what the heck happened to THIS poor kid?

No, I think your feet are bigger....no, YOUR feet are bigger....no YOURS are. No, YOU!

They called this a "tunnel."

Iris loves tunnels.

Mom, what would happen if I put my left foot in that water? Moments later, her question was answered.

Aw, isn't this one neat? Last flowers of the season.

It's a neat picture if you don't notice the weird goat-head wolf laying down behind them.

Nora thought it was neat to sit on the pumpkin.

OK - now we're getting to the good stuff. Here are the Wondertwins after their nap and dinner and hours of trick-or-treat practice. All ready for the big show!
The fam out in the dark, dark night walking down to the Haunted House on the corner to start our adventure.Look at our Halloween Hero selflessly hauling the girls up and down the street. What a champ!

Pulling up to the yard of the Haunted House. There had to be 20 inflatables on the yard and roof. AMAZING. There were hundreds of kids down there.

First things first Haunted House people, where's our candy?

Woooo - those ghosts are PRETTY scary! Look at Iris' face! Priceless.

This was the inflatable walk-through Haunted House and Nora and I are standing in-between the Keymaster and the Gatekeeper. "Okay, who brought the dog?" LOL. Ghostbusters. I kill me.....

I'm telling you, these people do NOT mess around with Halloween.

Alright - now it's on down the street for the real deal - the candy! Trick or treat, Olathans!

Wrapping up a wonderful weekend and magical night. Back to the house to hand out candy, which was just as much fun as acquiring it. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz. Already planning costumes for next year. Any ideas?
