We arrived home from Grand Cayman just in time to prepare the house (and Henry) for Halloween! Typically Halloween would mean setting a pumpkin or two on your front porch, preparing a few treats for the neighbourhood kiddies and waiting for the ghosts and goblins to shout "Trick or Treat" at your door. Not so on our street. Halloween "Joseph Duggan" style is a production, in every sense of the word. A custom-built haunted house is erected, an elaborate dinner party is prepared for all to share, spooky sponsors line the sidewalks with hot coco, snacks and photo booths and the local TV reporters are vying for the best camera angles early on.
Drawn in by the special effects screaming from the haunted house, an estimated 1200 people walked through our street on Halloween night. Last year Henry was only 6 months old and barely crawling, therefore he could not partake in the extravaganza. This year....it's a whole new ball game! Dressed up as his favourite character, ELMO, Henry ran up and down the street for nearly 3 hours. Passers-by would say "Hi Elmo!" and he would wave and reply "Hi!" To our surprise he was not frightened by the zombies and skeletons, instead he seemed intrigued and would often point at them with a curious "Ohhh!"

Great pics, but it looks like all the videos are marked private. Guess you knew I'd sell them, huh! :) UJ
