2016 marked our third Halloween celebrated in Seattle and the second one in our N. Cap Hill home. Our location in Seattle continues to be the unplanned/unexpected gift that keeps on giving . . . N. Cap Hill does Halloween like nowhere we've ever seen - two blocks down are streets lined with incredibly decorated homes, elaborate costumes and themes, and wall to wall people working their way to get a view.
This year also allowed us to continue our goal of social immersion in the city . . . we invited a host of families from the boys' school to join us for dinner and trick-or-treating and had a fantastic response. The boys were proud to show off their house and neighborhood while Dad and Pai continued to get to know their parents a little better. The rain did set in about halfway, but luckily the neighborhood is flush with large, full trees and we were able to squeeze a good 90 minutes of trick-or-treating in before returning home to assess the candy haul.
Now for the important stuff . . .
Hard costume year - who knew that Harry Potter costumes are pretty much limited to Harry Potter! Boys finally decided on Ant Man with Dad and Pai following suit. |
Ant Men ready for battle! |
The mob before being released . . . that's some pure joy on the boys' faces. |
