Neighborhood Halloween Block Party

I may have said this before, but I will say it again...our neighborhood is GREAT!!!!!! I hope that we can find one like it when we move back. This year for Halloween, the neighborhood hosted their annual Halloween party and parade. A lot of the kids are at the age where they think they are "too cool" to dress up, but they enjoyed the rest of the activities. There was a colossal jumpoline equipped with a climbing wall that leads to a slide. And, boy!!!! Was that slide FAST! After playing for a while, gorging ourselves on ghost cookies and orange frosted cookies and chocolate chip cookies and several other varieties as well as some great hot apple cider, we had a parade around the neighborhood. Very cute. Here are some fun pics of the kids in their costumes, on the slide-o-jump-o-line and walking in the "parade."

I love the above shot! It makes me think of
Carol Burnette!

A dream come true for E...he loved the slide

"Rar!!!" The parade begins...

Running ahead to get some pictures of the little ones...and they ran with me! We met D and Z after the parade. Z had just woken up from his afternoon nap and D was getting ready to go for a run.
