Downtown Halloween Parade

Each year, downtown hosts a Halloween parade and the merchants open their doors to all the children trick-or-treating. Emma was really looking forward to the parade this year because her jazz class was going to perform at the end of the parade route. She was especially excited about this because she was sick and missed school and dance on both Monday and Tuesday that week. She missed the fun Halloween dancing they did on those nights. Unfortunately, Mother Nature didn't cooperated. The skies let loose about 12:30. It stopped about 15 minutes later, but by then they had decided to cancel the parade even though it wasn't raining at the start time :(. The kids did get to trick or treat though. They enjoyed doing that at least.

Trick-or-treating on the slick downtown streets with Camden, Danielle, Sydney, Hannah, Emma, Allison and Ben.

The Riddle Family (Danielle, Hannah and Ben) dressed to match...all had Alice and Wonderland costumes. They were so cute!

Allison trick-or-treated at Miss Millie's Learning Loft.

Grandma Sue and Grandpa Rex even drove to town to come watch the parade. Too bad they didn't get to see anything. They did get to see their cute girls all dressed up though.

We saw the girls' friend, Daniella trick-or-treating.

They posed for so many pictures that day! They were great about it too.

Jeff was working that day, but he came down to watch the parade. Well, as we know, it was cancelled, so we just stopped to chat for a minute and take a quick picture in front of the fire truck.

What's down there? I have no idea, but it was a funny picture to end the day!
