More Halloween Pix: 2008
















Here are some more images from Halloween 08. The day shots are from our day of trick-or-treating at the Hogle Zoo. Great day for the kids, tiring day for the parents. The night shots are taken on our front walk prior to venturing onto the streets for two hours of trick-or-treating.


The kids were proud to have Pac-Man as their escort. And as we went along, several adults and kids shouted, "Hey, Pac-Man!" Ian and Lora became my PR reps as we trekked, yelling to people as we approached (if they had not already witnessed the three-and-a-half-foot-in-diameter yellow disc strolling towards them), "My dad's Pac-Man!"


One family requested that I stop and pose for a photo with them, which I did. And a group of teenagers high-fived me as we strolled past.

After three years of creating costumes out of cardboard that I somehow affix to my head, it's become a tradition expected by my kids and the neighborhood. I haven't conceived of next year's costume, but I plan on making it more neck-friendly -- I'm still popping Advil from the two hours of wearing this year's on All Hallow's Eve.
