Halloween 2015

Halloween started slowly with hitting the gym in the morning and a quality nap, but soon it was off to ma and pa’s house.

With the traditional chili all ready for dinner, it was time for It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. A special night, so Des got his first bit of screen time, dancing with dad to the classic soundtrack.

Des was old enough this year to make the rounds to a few close neighbors for some light trick-or-treating (con botella).

Let the wild rumpus start!

Each Halloween at Des’ daycare, after each room has their own party, the kids load up for a buggy ride tour of the building. The parade makes trick-or-treat stops throughout each department in the building (the daycare is just one portion of the organization’s overall community mission and facility). It was really quite cute and all the employees just loved seeing the kids dressed up.

It was also contemplative for mom and dad- this was the first “kids event” participating as observers while the kids, both collectively and Des, were the focal point. A new parental experience.
