Another Halloween in South Lakes is in the books. Another year in the cul de sac watching our kids grow up - no longer pushing Grant in a stroller, or having to walk with TJ, holding hands, up to the party.We live in a neighborhood with a great bunch of people who make the evening fun with food and drink until it is time to go door to door.
This year Grant was "Black Panther" - because he liked the costume. Two years ago he was Captain Phasma - a character from Star Wars that is female - so we know Grant isn't stuck up on gender or race issues.
TJ was a Ghoul, with a black shawl type thing and a death mask. The cute and fun part of Halloween is leaving him in favor of scary and shock worthy.
Our house was visited by hundreds! We decorated the outside in a witches theme, with cool lighting inside and out but without any too frightening. Halloween decorations have become an informal contest in the neighborhood and I can no longer keep up with some of the elaborate set ups.
The good news is that Lisa and I are discussing going to Walt Disney World next year for "Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party" - a really cool special event at the Magic Kingdom. The park gets decorated and there are special hours for Trick-or-Treating. Our family is already in discussions on what to dress up as!
