Halloween 2010



This year we stuck close to our new home and went trick-or-treating on Belvedere Street. We weren't sure exactly what to expect because we'd heard so much about the experience and we were certainly not disappointed! I think it was slightly overwhelming for the kids but they loved it. It was basically a giant street party with the road closed off to traffic. There were tons of trick-or-treaters out -- both kids and adults in costume -- and many of the houses were decked out in themes such as Star Wars or Shrek. There was even a live band set up on one of the street corners. Overall, a very fun and festive experience. One of my favorite parts was the cookie monster house who was handing out cold beers to adults and candy to the kids. We'll definitely be back next year, though perhaps slightly earlier in the day to avoid some of the crowds.
