Another Great Halloween

















Another great Halloween has come and gone. We all love Halloween, maybe more than most people. I love where we live because the elementary school has a Halloween costume parade on Halloween and they go right by our house. I took the afternoon off so Jen could walk in the parade with Michael's class and I could take pictures of the kids as they walked by. I also could fire off the pneumatic goul to get a few screams. Halloween night was great. We had somewhere between 150 - 175 trick-or-treaters. I had help this year from a friend from Church, who handed out the candy and from a friend who is a visiting professor at WVU from Hungary (region of Transylvania - how cool is that!) who worked the air valve for the pneumatic goul. He did a great job because we had quite a few screams. I had a blast because I could lay in the dug grave and wave at everyone wishing them a Happy Halloween. I even had quite a few requests to have pictures taken with me in the grave, I posed with kids and adults throughout the evening. Now that is over, we can starting thinking and planning for next year!

Next year I'm wearing make-up if I'm a candy-distributor again. Thanks for letting me participate!

This is amazing! It is fun to have a dad like you who enjoys being with his kids so much on Halloween that he will take half a day off...You win for the Halloween Dad of the Year award! (at least in my opinion!)
