One lady in our neighborhood each year organizes a fantastic Halloween parade for the little kids and some of the older kids in our neighborhood. Anybody who wants to dress up can.
At last year's parade, we were treated to 2 full sized R2D2 units (from Star Wars just in case you don't know) that danced to their own music. They were a huge hit with the kids.
This year's parade was no exception. We had adults dressed up as Darth Vader and 2 Stormtroopers and a teenager dressed up as Princess Leia (also from Star Wars).
We also had a real life State Police officer who was doing the parade route with his young son.
My parents came up to help out with the kids and take pictures of them trick or treating. We had the two oldest walking and Bella was in the stroller. By the half way mark, Katie was being carried, Ryan was dragging, and Bella was still in the stroller. About 2/3 of the way through the route, Katie was in the stroller, Ryan was being held and Bella was walking most of the rest of the parade route. By the 2/3rds mark, Bella knew the routine and how to do it. It took one hour from start to finish to do the parade.
When we got home they had to see their goodies. They each had a couple of pieces for snack and haven't asked for any more since.
Sorry I'm not showing any pictures just yet...I need to download them from my camera.
Now we just need to work on them saying "trick or treat" and then "thank you" (heck I'd take a Kamsahamnida as well).
