Halloween '09: Part 3 (The Main Event)

On Halloween "night" (4pm for those 5 and under) we headed over to the Pismo Beach Outlets to trick-or-treat from store to store with the Gonzalez family. Mama Kelci was so sweet in making Luke his very own trick-or-treating bag which we managed to stuff a lot of candy into (thanks Kelci!) So Belle from "Beauty and the Beast" (Bella), Hula Girl (Matea) and Dragon (Luke) hit up all the stores and tucked into dinner at a local Mexican restaurant afterwards. We had a great time and are so lucky that Steve, Kelci, Bella and Matea invited us.

I much prefer adorable to scary on Halloween.

Heading into a store with Dad. Luke was very quiet but said "trick-or-treat" (when prompted) quite a few times. No "all done trick-or-treating" = Luke had a good time!

We let him shed his dragon head. It was literally 80 degrees outside so having to wear the jacket and pants was punishment enough.

Manya (Luke's sitter) asked us to stop by afterwards so she could see our little Dragon and give him a Halloween treat. Luke was more then happy to make an appearance at the residence of three lovely young coeds and it ended up being the only door-knocking trick-or-treat action he saw. We have high hopes for next year!

Daddy assisting in the knock.

The Dragon and Man-gee (Luke REFUSES to call her "Manya" even though he can pronounce it perfectly now) the Witch. He had to show Man-gee his loot piece by piece.

Mommy: "Luke, do you want to hang out with Manya?"
Luke: "Oh, oh, oh- MAN-GEE!!"

When we got home we had to take out yearly "Luke on front porch with carved pumpkin" shot. He wasn't entirely thrilled but it's amazing what the promise of candy can accomplish.

Dad, Luke and this year's carving creation.

Luke and Jack.

He found the blinking light extremely interesting.

If you give us a "trick" we unleash THE DRAGON.

Strong contender for my new favorite picture.
