Hallowe'en With Kiddo

Well, off we went to Oak Bay... had dinner at the Blethering Place and then wandered the streets, trick-or-treating. Alas, I did not get a photo of kiddo in full makeup... she was a bit of a blur!

Oak Bay is filled with people who really get into the whole act; lots of decorations, lights, scary things, and they seem happy to see kids out and about. One person jumped and said BOO! when he opened the door and kiddo screeeeamed! -- another came to the door with an Alien baby poking out of her abdomen (kiddo did not jump at that).

We stopped at the bonfire, hosted by the Oak Bay Fire Department. Kiddo had been looking forward to it, but once there declared it was "Tooo hot! Too hot!" and burst into tears.

Never mind, she got a balloon anyway.

She also got plenty of candy, and I think had a genuinely good time. She got home, washed up and was asleep within seconds of hitting her pillow, after which hubby and I curled up to watch Sleepy Hollow.
