Halloween 2010
This year we decided to dress up as Alice in Wonderland characters, the mad hatter and the queen of hearts. I was very excited to do Peter's make up and even did a practice round to make sure I created the best work possible. Albany, GA is not a very big "halloween" celebrating place and although we had originally planned to go to Tampa, the final decision was just to stay home. Saturday morning we woke up early and went to complete a 5K. We later dressed up the dogs and waited for the trick or treaters, who came on Saturday instead of Sunday, because Sunday is extremely sacred day for this community. Peter and I also dressed up to greet the trick or treaters and then later that evening we went to a Mexican restaurant to have dinner and participate in the costume contest. Given the fact, that there is only 1 "costume rental" store, no Party City, no Spirit store, I figured our chances of winning were pretty high :). I was right, Peter won best costume and as the prize we got 11 CDs which appeared to be previously owned and of bands neither one of us even knew about...ohh and we also got a coozie! We indeed live in a very unique place. Please enjoy the pictures of Halloween and our 5K run.
Moral of the story: If you have some money for investing, you should invest and start a halloween store in Albany, GA, you would become a Millionaire!

ReplyDeleteThe crown I am wearing was the actual crown my mom was crowned with in 1977 when she became the coffee queen in Colombia!
ReplyDeleteI almost peed my pants when I read the line about your "winnings" at the costume contest - hilarious!
