The Thursday before Halloween was the "kids Halloween" at work. This turned out to be fortuitous, since we didn't have after-school care for Megan that day, and it gave me an excuse to bring her to work. I picked Megan up around 2, and by half past we were strolling through an area filled with pumpkins and blow-up creatures.

 

We strolled around for a while, eating some some food and checking out the other kids' costumes.   Megan declined to get her face painted, but she did have one of the balloon cowboys to make her a wand to go with her princess outfit.  She also had fun leaping across the hay bales that were arranged on the ground.

 

The event seemed to be a little lower key than other celebrations we've had there, which was fine.  The candy station wasn't particularly well thought out, however.  There was just a single table that had a few bins of candy, which quickly became a bottleneck.  We tried to wait for the line to get shorter, but that never happened, so we wound up waiting for 20 minutes to get a little bag of stuff.  

This wouldn't have been so bad, except mother nature decided that the day before Halloween was the right time to break the drought we've had for the past 8 months.  It was drizzling the whole time we were waiting, and it turned into a downpour shortly after.  We huddled under an overhang for a bit before Megan decided she was cold and done.
