Halloween Fun

I've never been a fan of Halloween. I was either scared of all the spooks or not into the mischief that typically occurs in small town Oklahoma on Halloween. Since having Cooper, things have certainly changed. Cooper loved Halloween last year, and it is one of my most fond memories of him all dressed up in his puppy costume and standing eagerly on the porch waiting for trick or treaters to stop by.

We had a weekend of Halloween activities this year. The Punisher and Mrs. Punisher were headed to the Longmont Halloween parade and gave us the heads up of the huge turn out. After a terrible week, we had thought we'd just take it easy but when I asked Cooper if he wanted to put his costume on to go get some candy he emphatically said "Yes". We quickly got him dressed and headed off to Main St. Longmont for the parade.

The parade featured all sorts of kiddos in costumes, adults dressed up, dogs dressed up and lots of marching bands. Anyone who wanted to parade could do so, and we took our opportunity and paraded up and down the street a bit.

Some sights along the way:

We had a great night of trick or treating and handing out candy tonight too, but that is for another post. Happy Halloween to all.
