Trick or Treat

This is the first year Lila really got into Halloween. She went as Little Red Ridding Hood and wore her costume for about two weeks before October even started. Since we weren't really sure what we'd be doing for the 31st and since I needed a little practice in the studio, I talked Lila into posing for me for a few Halloween pictures. She and Eric were really good sports about it but I'm not sure I'll ever get either of them back there. 

Halloween night we ended up going trick or treating with some friends downtown. Lila had a great time and I'd never been to "Clark St." on Halloween before so it was pretty fun for me too. They block off the street for a few blocks and all the houses really get into it. There were lines up to the doors and the people just sat on their steps and handed out candy. Surprisingly it went pretty fast. The houses were very impressive (the historic district). One had bars all around the front porch and people in gorilla suits in the "cage." Another had a graveyard with crazy lighting in the front yard and people as ghosts in the upper windows. Ok, I might have had even more fun than Lila did :)
