This year we opted for the "drive through or one-stop-shopping" Halloween experience. Easy costumes and a visit to the Proctor District Halloween celebration. They close down a 2 block radius and all the stores open their doors to thousands of kids. There is literally one line that winds its way around the streets filled with wide-eyed children delightfully repeating the phrase "trick or treat!" Grace was entranced with the amount of sugar that quickly filled her basket. We made it half way through and decided to head home for dinner with friends, as we were having a hard time keeping her candy consumption to a tolerable level. It was great fun though and the weather cooperated, staying dry for the outing.

Several friends and their kiddos shared in the fun. It was great to see so many families enjoying the holiday and all the great costumes. Grace loved her skeleton outfit, quickly learning and pointing out where Grandmuhie's broken clavicle is and our friend Jessie's broken foot bone is. To the right, Sam showing off his fierce claws. He was such a sport.
