Halloween Weekend 2011

It seems like we had a bunch of Halloween activities this year.  First up was the Halloween party at Novozymes (where I work).  There was pizza for everyone and a haunted house.  One of my co-workers also brought bunnies and a rooster from her farm for the kids to pet which Asher loved.  Although, I frequently had to remind him to pet them gently and not whack them to death! 

Next was a weekend trip to Berkeley where we went with friends to a Halloween parade on Piedmont Ave.  It wasn't the typical parade with floats and performers, this was a kids parade where all of the kids got to parade down the street in their costumes.  It was pretty fun!  After the parade we trick or treated from shop to shop up and down the street.  At the end of the street they had a huge pumpkin patch where we got a free pumpkin and hotdogs for lunch.  We had a great time!

The final activity was acutally Halloween night.  Riley and I took turns walking Asher around the neighborhood to trick or treat.  He seemed to enjoy getting candy handed to him at every house but was a little bit shy about saying trick or treat.  Riley took him to a nearby house that sets up a huge haunted house and he said that Asher didn't seem scared at all.  The lady of the house was surprised that Asher was so brave :)  It was a fun-filled weekend!
