BOO!

Well, we started Halloween early this year, getting everyone in their costumes for a night at Red Butte Gardens. What could be more fun than wandering unfamiliar trails in the dark with your in-laws, trying to keep track of running cousins and kids? I tell you, around here, we really know how to live it up. Actually, it was quite fun, the kids had a good time.




Keegan reprised his role as mini-Chewbaca -- with Alden insisting on being Obi-Wan, what else could the little guy do?-- and he was the hit of the night. Didn't need to worry about losing him because you just had to follow the "oooohs" and "isn't that sooooo cute's!" and you knew he'd be in the middle of it.


Here are the kids, with Kate as Cleopatra, queen of the Egyptian Nile, listening to a Native American tell ghost stories by the fire in celebration of that fine European tradition, Halloween. And if that isn't cross-cultural enough for you, I don't know what to do. They don't call us the "cross-roads of the west" for nothin' y'know.

Hope everyone has a safe, happy and fun Halloween.
