Nolan had a semi-interest in going trick-or-treating this year, as this was the first year his brother decided he was too old for such activities. But we told Nolan he had to go trick-or-treating because this was the only time of year his mom could get some Butterfingers and his dad could get some Twix bars. We called up some friends and joined them for a stroll around the neighborhood for some most excellent trick-or-treating. A good time was had by all, and most importantly Michael and I got our candy!
We were really impressed by the extent some people went to decorate for Halloween. From giant spiders to misty fountains to spooky lighting, it was pretty nifty.
The most stunning was one in which they turned their yard, porch, house exterior, and garage into a Wild West ghost townand had about 30 people dress as cowboys, gunslingers, and Native Americans. Check out the Flickr show for more shots, pardner -- you really need to see them all to get the full effect.
When we got home, we found out that Chipotle was giving away free burritos to anyone who dressed up as a burrito, taco, salad, etc., and was brave enough to show up at the restaurant. Free food?!!! Michael and I did a quick costume change, becoming Boo-ritos, and were out the door in a flash. We'll do almost anything for free food! Almost. Hush, you.
