After the carnival and Wayne’s continued sickness, the Ballard Market Street Trick or Treat was on the chopping block. We went anyway, though with some uncertainties. Crowds, rain, sugar. It turned out ok. I wrangled the girls while Wayne took beautiful photos. (see flickr) We ran into J&C, the farm. The costumes were stunning. The crowds weren’t bad. The girls didn’t get tons of candy, just a nice smattering. When our energy was starting to fail, we ducked into Kjrsten’s church’s alternative party and watched Madame Blueberry while Wayne got the car.
We ate dinner and headed out as a family. It was fun. I wasn’t able to recruit any friends or neighbors (despite attempting to by email), but as a family, we make a big enough group. Ken and Erica weren’t having their normal gathering. So we got their undivided attention for awhile. It was a nice chance to catch up. There were even a decent number of trick or treaters.
Here’s our other neighbors garb:
