Halloween


Billie, a co worker, gave a scathingly brilliant idea. Kim and I picked up the Kids in our Halloween costume. Kim dressed up in her witch costume, and I dressed up in a Master Chief costume from the video game Halo. As kids filtered out of the school, they got a big kick out of Kim and I in our costume. Meagan was the first one to see us, and her jaw just dropped. By the time Josh walked out, a nice sized crowd was around us. You could see it on his face that he just could not believe what he was seeing. It was great!

The family, with Kim's parents, packed up and went to the Halloween festival in Bryant. Even Kim and I got into the spirit. Kim dressed up as a witch, and I as Master Chief from the video game Halo. Meagan went as a vampire, and Josh went as the grim reaper.

While the festival was noticeably smaller this year, but the kids still had a blast. Kim's parents even rode a few rides! Several other witches complemented Kim on her costume, from nice looking witches to green faces with prosthetic noses. The Halo costume also went over well, I was asked to pose several times. Some times it was from Dads, or teens who have played the game, and was even asked to pose with small kids who did not know who it was but just thought it was cool.

Great fun was had by all again this year! I have uploaded all the pictures I took to our photo site, check the link to the left.
