Halloween 2009

It is illegal to trick or treat in Ocean Shores. I think because the streets are dark, there are many vacation homes, and elderly who don't want to be disturbed, so the Fire Department puts on a big Halloween Party every year. They rent booths out to the local businesses who do carnival games, and pass out candy. The kids always come home with a ton of candy. It is inside and all their friends are usually there. It's a wonderful thing for a small town.
Here were door greeters, with bags (for candy) and candy. It is the social event of Ocean Shores, so it is fun to see old friends. Jeremy helped deliver this cute thing a few months ago.

Here she is with her parents.

He also helped this baby start breathing after she delivered at 23 weeks! she had her first birthday a few months ago, and looks great and is doing great. It was awesome seeing her. She is a miracle baby! It was awesome seeing both of those babies there. Jeremy wes very vocal with the fact that he didn't want to assist in a delivery and he had 2 incredible ones!

one of the volunteers. He always has a great costume. His hair is painted on!

cousin it with C shift. they were on duty tonight and amazingly didn't have a call until right as we started cleaning up!

Kas went trick or treating in the neighboring bigger town with a friend, and then they came to the Convention Center. She had a great time. This was probably only her second time trick or treating. She's a pirate.

I didn't get pumpkins for us to carve this year cause I am such a halloween scrooge. But, someone gave Kas this pumpkin when they were cleaning up. She felt like she scored! Someone else gave her the rest of their booth candy. It is good having connections.

She was soo excited to score so much candy, but the funny thing is we NEVER eat all the candy.

I didn't take any shots of the boys. They were both dressed as volunteer firefighters! ;) I think they inherited some of my scroogeness. hate when that happens! ;)
