Halloween Parade

We had a great time at the Halloween parade where kids march for about 4 blocks in their Halloween costumes. We were a party of 7 with the two kids and parents and Grandma Liz and Jason and Lori.

It didn’t take long for Ezri to find a friend from her dance class who was also dressed as Queen Elsa.

Elsa was definitely THE HALLOWEEN COSTUME this year. I counted 39 Elsas at the town Halloween parade.
A number of younger siblings were Olaf the snowman. I counted 8 Olafs. The Olaf behind these two Elsas is not Ivan, but the other Elsa’s little brother.

Ezri noted that there were many Elsas, but she was the only one gifted with a magical balloon wand with which to do her snow magic.

This is the woman behind the balloon art and her consort here known as “the carrier of balloon art.”

While the Great Pumpkin armed with a dracula wand tried to defeat Elsa, the vampire wand was no match for Elsa’s superior freezing powers.

Before leaving for the parade, I told Ezri that she should not twirl wildly or she would show her underwear. She nodded and said, “I better put on some leggings.” Let nothing impede the joy of a good parade twirl.

Here is Elsa with the Doctor. She said of her balloon wand, “It is shaped like a heart and I love it. Isn’t that funny?” Later when it was popped by her little brother, she did not melt or rage but noted that balloons don’t last forever.

We returned home for epic pumpkin carving, but that’s another blog post.
