Our Halloween began a little early. The Sunday before Halloween some friends of ours invited us to go along with them to the Pumpkin Prowl at Woodland Park Zoo. Apparently it is an annual event, and as I was told by a participant from a bygone year, it was pretty lame. I'm not sure what it was like the year they went, but I thought it was pretty cool, and more importantly so did Felix. Our friends, Kendra and Mike, have a near two year old son, Finn, and they brought the 5yo son of a friend of theirs, Gabe.
This is the best picture I was able to get of the three boys together, that's Finn in the hat, Gabe in the green, and our Trumie in the black hoodie. Sorry, I should have tried harder. Anyway, Finn is still a little young but Felix and Gabe had so much fun together running through the haunted-house decorated Zoomazium, looking at the hundreds of pumpkins the zoo had lining the paths, and collecting the various goodies being given away at the stalls.
Felix has reached the age where he is fascinated with superheroes, thus he chose Batman as his costume. Above you see him standing next to our attempt at a graveyard in our front yard. The skeleton lights up. Felix really enjoyed going door to door, though initially he was a little shy. At the beginning of the day we had rain, but a little before dark the sun came out. It evaporated the water on the ground and caused an eerie mist throughout our neighborhood, it was great. I tried to take a picture of the house, with the mist; this is what I got:

That pumpkin man picture is creepy cool, and Felix is an adorable Batman. I agree with you, the Pumpkin Prowl sounds like a lot of fun! I went with Casey, Rebecca, and Aiden around our neighborhood. We ran into Karen (your old babysitter)! She lives in Steven Hayman's old house next door to her mom.
