Thanks DirtDawg for providing me with the group photo from last night's trip to the Zoo Boo. Thirteen of us braved the lovely MI weather to enjoy the festivities - and the candy. Everyone, including my 77-year old great aunt (that's Little Red Riding Hood to you) dressed up to get into the 'spirit' of things.
Most people really liked our passion for Halloween. My brother fetched many a comment on his recycled penguin costume. There were some, however, who frowned on my dad and Jason being beer bottles. Come on people - get the whole picture. My mom and I were witches - they were witches brew. I wanted 'Manwich' costumes for them, but I couldn't find any. Beer costumes may not be completely appropriate for a family outing, but when Em said 'daddy are you going to be a gummy bear for Halloween?' how could we say no? Yes, she can read. But she never looked at the writing on the front.
So, to all of you head shakers and poo-pooers, get a grip and get in the friggin' spirit.
Now that I've settled that, I have more pictures. I haven't downloaded mine just yet. I will add those and talk more about our fabulous night. Let's just say that it's an awesome family tradition and I hope that it continues for years to come.
And as a footnote, I am approaching a year of this blog. It was last year's Zoo Boo outing that inspired me to start it. It's a nice little blog. It gives me a tiny outlet for some daily events and gives family a chance to gleam a little more of our lives. So, thank you blog. We shall celebrate in style.
