Happy Halloween from Bozeman!

Immediately after school, around 3pm, you can head to Downtown Bozeman for the "Big Halloween Costume Walk-a-Throng". But really. We went last year, and it was INSANE. Thousands of kids and parents, and strollers. And they don't shut down traffic. So everyone has to get in and out of stores and by each other on the sidewalks. This year we opted for a more casual neighborhood Halloween stroll. We stopped by two friends' houses who were having neighborhood Halloween parties: you trick or treat, then you head into their house for beer, or apple cider, then you go back out and trick or treat again.

It was a nice evening. Here are some pictures:

These were on our front porch. Emma decided on "happy faces" this year. Happy faces, they are. Compliments of Sid's fine pumpkin handiwork.

 Emma is a pinkalicous Super Hero.

Emma and Sid discussion the more existential qualities of the pumpkins at this house, compared to our "just happy" pumpkins at our own home.

It is fun. The houses along South 3rd goes all out for the occasion.

You have to love Halloween at age 4. Emma was thrilled just to be out with us and the pumpkins. After about 5 houses, she said "This is great!" I have sooo much candy. Is it time to go home now?".....

Dearest Lil' never left the stroller. So, no one got to see her pumpkin outfit (compliments of the Memphis Trotz contingent), but she did not seem to mind.
