We got off on a bad foot.
Everyone was cranky. It was raining. We were running late, due to late naps. Our 2 1/2 year old wanted to eat all the Snickers, we got for the few Trick-or-Treaters that came by. We almost scrapped the drive into Old Town. Did I mention everyone was cranky?
Parking was a pain. Papa Bear and I bickered most of the 7 minutes it took to drive to Lee Street. And then we bickered some more for the 10 minutes it took to park.
But, somehow...we ended up having a great time.
The rain stopped.
Nye kept her Costume on and didn't demand Milky.
The Baby was content, despite it literally being her "Witching Hour." She sleepily took in all the sights.
And, boy were there some sights.
Lee Street is one of the oldest streets in Old Town. Barricades are put up, so hundreds of folks can walk down the street with their Super-Heroes and Bumblebees.
Most of the houses are crazy decked out with Halloween Spirit. Plus, if you are nosey like me...it's a chance to peek into other people's houses. You know the multi-million dollar ones built in the 1700's. Everybody is out and everybody is smiling.
This year there were even drummers!
A cranky Black Widow Spider sporting what every Spider needs...a Puppy pacifier.
Giving Daddy her candy trash. Thankfully, because we were only there between 8-9 pm, many houses had already run out of candy. Her stash is very, very small...so I won't have to listen to weeks of whining for candy.
Chocolate. It beings me to my knees. She is my daughter. Need I say more?
Hope you had a Magical Halloween!
