HALLOWEEN ON ELM

I felt like we jumped into a Norman Rockwell painting.......

Finn - Uncle Todd - Chloe

walking through the train station

This was the City of Carlsbad's FIRST downtown Halloween Event.  The turnout was triple what they expected, the streets were crowded with children, parents, teens on bikes and animals on leashes dressed up as devils.  We met up with Aunt Kara and Chloe at their condo and walked to the party!  It was incredible.....

Gerome the Knome

Highlight of the evening for Finn.....

meeting Carlsbad Police Officer

Chloe liked the squad car...

they even let you sit inside and play with the police scanner.

Street of Trick 'O' Treaters

Uncle Todd and Chloe checked out the Fire Engine

Finn was shy but Chloe was full speed ahead!

GIRL POWER

Chloe & Casper

City Works Dept went all out....

they created a Gicantic Black Widow Spider

(you can see Chloe & Finn never tooks their eyes off it)

Very Scary....

it had already killed two City Workers in its web.

We walked on towards the live music behind Giocoletti's Music shop.

Even political canidates were out for final voting push!

Soldier Finn was guarding the vintage car.

After all the walking and candy gathering we decided to rest our weary bones at our local Coyote Bar & Grill, food was devine plus the relaxing Cadillac Margarita I just couldn't resist....diet begone!

Todd's dinner

Chloe loved the salsa...she wanted to eat it alone by the spoon full.  I must admit, their salsa is the best, Todd thinks they add cumin. YUM.  I've tried without success to find the recipe online....anyone know the recipe to their salsa?  I would love to have it!

While we were eating a couple of Zombie's came in to rest their bones after performing Thriller,  Finn couldn't resist taking a closer look.  For Zombie's they were extremely friendly and even shared some grooming tips with Finn. 

Kind of Scary

We finished the evening at the fountain in Village Square....we left Uncle Todd chase Chloe and Finn around the fountain to burn off the sugar intake.  Finn met up with the Mad Hatter...you just never know you will meet up with at the fountain....

Mad Hatter & Soldier Finn

The Mad Hatter won for best child costume...

(after running around the fountain his wig/hat was a little askew)

On our way home Finn told us he had the best Halloween ever.....and to think it wasn't even Halloween yet, one more day with two more parties to attend.

Happy Halloween
