The Parade

In Idyllwild Halloween is a big event. Since we are fairly rural and we don't have sidewalks or street lights their is a long held tradition of trick-or-treating at the businesses in town. It starts on the main street and everyone starts at the top the streets are closed and everyone walks down trick or treating all the way and then in the center of town there is a carnival that supports the pta. Well Halloween was Friday and I think we about doubled the towns population at the festivities.
Here Seth is "fishing" at a cute little carnival game....he didn't want to do it until he saw Joel do it and Joel got a little basketball.....so, then he thought he would try.
The Fire Dept. sponsors the booth where you put the candles out with a squirt gun.
Here's Joel and Seth trick or treating with Nani....and look a storm trooper in the background.
Did you know that pumpkins age quickly. In only two weeks they go from cute Jack-O-Lanterns to very toothless old-man pumpkins.
