Halloween in the City

Happy Monday Folks!

Halloween in the City! Friday afternoon, we welcomed lots of ghosts and gobblins for trick-or-treating! Diesel LOVED seeing all the kids! Next up, we carved pumpkins for our ‘doggie themed’ jack-o-lanterns!! Big South and I both wanted a chill Halloween night, so we decided to watch the Halloween parade on Canal Street. We walked to the parade and the crowd was huge when we arrived! Reminded me of Halloweens spent at UNC-Chapel Hill on Franklin Street! Madness! The streets were completely filled with creative, crazy and creepy costumes. You could only walk in the Halloween parade if you were wearing a costume and we were happy to watch the insanity ensue from the sidewalk. Happy until the sidewalks swelled with people too and we couldn’t see or move. So, we decided to dart across the parade to the opposite sidewalk (which was basically empty).  Seemed like a logical idea at the time….

Half way across, we realized we couldn’t move anymore because the parade was starting and then we became participants in the parade, rather than spectators. It was quite hilarious and made for a very memorable night! “Whatta we say if someone asks us about our costume”? “We’re serial killers…they always look normal, right”? “No….no they don’t!” “Undercover agents?” “You are wearing a sweater….that’ll never work”. “We’re tourists! Yes, southern tourists and I’ll break out my southern twang!”  “You don’t have to break anything out…your twang has been out for awhile now, honey.” 🙂

Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!
