Halloween Part 2

Tripp the Dragon

This was Tripp's original costume - Dragon. As you can see the head was way too big and heavy! The head kept on falling forward onto his face so he couldn't see unless we put it way back on his head (as shown in the picture) but that only lasted for a few moments before it flopped forward again.....something had to be done!

Having a good time playing Godzilla!

Voila! I stayed up late the night before and tested my mommy sewing skills. I separated the head and body and removed the dragon face....

...maybe I should take a class.

Our town, Willimantic, has a safe trick or treat every year.

They close down main street from 4:30 - 6:30 and all of the

shop owners hand out candy.

We took Tripp there to participate in the parade of kids

and get a taste of the Halloween festivities!

Some of the local shop owners getting into the spirit!

Unfortunately, Tripp is scared of adults

dressed up in costumes.....

After dinner we treated Tripp to a Caramel Apple. He loved it so much when we went to Buell's farm I had to buy him a second one for a future special treat -

Halloween was full of treats!

Sharing :-)

Our treats : Pretzels, Play-Doh and Sweets!

Tripp decided that he loves lolli-pops and laffy taffy. In fact he loves them so much that at first he did not want to see them go. He took the candy right out of the kid's buckets after I handed it out! Not to worry, he caught on quick and was soon running to the door with every chime of the bell to hear the chant of "Trick or Treat!" Tripp's job was to hand out the bags of pretzels.

After a caramel apple and some lolli-pops Tripp was wired! So we let him stay up way past his bedtime and enjoy some live streaming video of our favorite band -Widespread Panic's Halloween concert in New Orleans! He loved it!

....and yes, I dressed up for halloween too. Art teachers dress up every year - it's a tradition!
