O.K.'s first Halloween wasn't the treat-filled door-to-door romp through the neighborhood it may be in a few years, but it did include a neighborhood walk and plenty of tots in costume. Each year the West Philly neighborhood has a Halloween parade for kids 6 and under. Here's Oscar before we left, posing with our still-uncarved pumpkin.
The parade started in Clark Park and made its way up Baltimore, around the corner on Osage, and down a few blocked off streets. Houses were decorated for the occasion and there were endless treats being handed out (Oscar hardly seemed to notice, so this was easy to pass up--this year).
We met up with friends from our new parent group. Gavin is two months older than Oscar, which currently seems like a pretty big difference. Soon enough, I'm sure we'll hardly notice.
Monkey vs. Super Baby(I'm puttin' my money on the monkey.)
We waited in the park admiring all of the fall color and creative costumes. When the drums started playing, we were off!
Oscar got a pretty good view of all the fall festivity.
Of all the parades I've been in, this was the slowest moving. What do you expect with half the crowd under three feet tall? (Not shown in the picture below for obvious reasons.)
