Halloween 2011

This year Olivia was a black cat and Benjamin was a pirate (thanks to a cool hand-me-down from the Destradas!). We went to a festival in town and then we met up with the Destradas and Mary and Stan in their neighborhood where we went trick-or-treating together. The weather was really nice, but the sand gnats were vicious, of course! There was quite a bit of candy filling our buckets and bags by the end of the night, and we had a fun time walking the neighborhood together. Mary and Theresa took turns wheeling Stan sr. around in a wheel chair. He is still recovering from surgery, but we were glad he could come along for the ride. There was one funny moment when Mary took her hands off of the wheelchair handles for a second, and Stan sr. almost wound up in a ditch. We all giggled pretty good over that! We got home and thus began the task of shrinking the candy pile and making most of it mysteriously disappear (in the circular file, as they say!) :). Fun times!
