Halloween Treats

Our two dragons survey their pumpkins after trick-or-treating with the dinosaurs at AMNH.

DAY 14: Saturday, October 31, 2009

Happy Halloween, Y'all! We woke up early so the boys could get in their dragon costumes and practice breathing fire before we headed uptown for all the festivities. First, we stopped at Bryant Park for soup and sandwiches, then we headed to the American Museum of Natural History for their annual Halloween party, and then we headed back down to 69th Street for their neighborhood block party and trick-or-treating. The kids LOVED it!! And I was impressed by the merchants offering treats. I have to say Tucker and Henry never saw the treats from Godiva, but I can tell you they were wonderful. Toddlers can't appreciate quality chocolate! Enjoy the pictures. We missed all of you but hope you relished many treats this Halloween.

Tucker and Henry discover their wings in our apartment before heading out.

Henry, the "little" dragon, gets ready to meet the mammoths inside the AMNH.

Tucker , the "big" dragon, leads Henry on the hunt for treats of the candy variety...

...but was happy enough to give his friend Curious George a high-five!

The 69th Street Neighborhood Association went all-out with decorations. Tucker's favorite was the giant spider next door to this spooky window. Mine was the house divided between pergatory and heaven. Heaven was simply heavenly!

This Surf and Turf costume gave new meaning to being "a piece of meat."

The hoax man, complete with life-like mullet, was a great commentary on recent news.

And last, but certainly not least, this woman posing as the swine flu spoke volumes about UWS creativity. Loved, loved, loved it!

After two trips up and down 69th Street, the "little" dragon was draggin'.:)

So was his brother.

And that was all folks! Until next year, Happy Halloween!
