Event #4 has been a family favorite since our move back from Chicago three years ago. This is the fourth year we have headed to Main St. for trick-or-treating and we lucked out with beautiful weather once again.
In usual form, Amelia had arbitrarily assigned roles to various members of our family as she does every year. But, unlike most years, we were listening this time and agreed to fulfill our roles. Amelia knew that Henry was going to be the Tin Man, of course, and that Jason and I were going to be the Scarecrow and Lion respectively. But, what she didn't know was that other family members were going to fulfill their assigned roles as well.
It started off meeting her friends, Natalie and Emma, in our usual starting spot.
Before long GG showed up dressed as Glenda the Good Witch. Amelia was SO EXCITED! And GG is a pretty good sport. She whipped up that outfit the night before. And yes she made the skirt! You may recognize the crown and wand from Amelia's princess birthday party.
Henry pretty much had a "What the heck?" expression the whole time we were on Main St. I still don't understand how or why he kept that hat on, but he did and it was so funny!
While we were in route scoring candy, Jason's mom appeared out of no where and said, "I'll get you my pretty!" to Amelia. She almost died. Grandma had her face painted green and certainly did not look herself. After Amelia recovered she was thrilled! Uncle Dave didn't disappoint as the Wizard.
This picture cracks me up. That face can only be attributed to the copious amounts of candy consumed in the hour prior to the taking of this picture.
See? "What the heck?"
That's something you don't see everyday--The Wicked Witch, Dorothy, and Glenda the Good Witch all together and smiling.
We lasted a little over an hour before giving up to the crowds. After all, this was our FOURTH Halloween celebration. Only one more to go....
