Halloween Portrait 2013 - Rose and Paul

(from the It's better in Black & White department)

Hi everyone,

We toured the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Visitor's Center yesterday for Halloween.  They have a high-tech photo booth, so Rose & I sat down, and took a self-portrait:

 When you take the photo, it puts it up on a big wall:

 Neat, huh?  Oh yeah - Rose is a "Kitty Witch".  Of course she is!

Cheers,

Paul



Halloween 2012 Photos

(from the Oooh - spooky pumpkins! department)

Hi everyone,

I've got a few fun photos to share with you from our recent Halloween activities.  First - we had a King Street outing at Dr. Maze's Farm on October 24th.  Rose and her class had a blast - looking around the farm, touching worms, playing king (or queen) of the hay bale and getting a pumpkin:

 

By the way - that right arm thing?  That's Rose doing the Egyptian.  She's been doing that off and on since we went to the King Tut Exhibit.  

 

Next, we had a Halloween party here at work.  Rose had a blast:

 

Then, on the 28th, we went up to the Fall City Farms to get a couple of bigger pumpkins for the family.  Also - we went to get hot apple cider and fresh homemade donuts.  Sadly, this is the last year they'll be doing this - they're citing the economic downturn among other reasons:

 

By the way - Rose has her fingers in her ears because they were firing off a loud "pumpkin cannon".  This device was sending small flaming pumpkins across the fields.  Very cool.

 

Finally - on Halloween - we trick or treated at the University Village mall.  All the local shopkeepers stand out front in costumes, and the kids go candy crazy:

 

 

 

All in all, we had a very Happy Halloween!

 

Cheers,

Paul

Cupcake at Halloween

(from the A cupcake a day keeps the doctor away department)

Hi everyone,

Here's a video of Rose enjoying a well deserved cupcake. She's dressed in her "fairy princess godmother" for Halloween. We're at the University Village shopping center, during their Halloween celebration. Every Halloween, the merchants sponsor a trick-or-treat for kids. It's fun, but it's crazy busy with kids running around in costumes. Hence, the cupcake break.



This was shot 31-Oct-2010.

Cheers,
Paul
