Dragons on Halloween

Happy Halloween! 
This year, Avery wanted to be a dragon and Zeal a mountain lion. Quickly, though, Zeal changed his tune in order to join big brother. This made costume making much easier on Mama Dragon. 

These little dragons are trying their first dragonfruit for Halloween. 
Yes, it's 5:30 a.m., our usual rise and shine time.

Nantucket town is quiet, but certainly knows how to provide Halloween flavor.


Avery and I attended an evening of spooky stories outside the old gaol (jail). It was very scary, complete with zombies and even an old true tale about a ghost on the island who would rock in a chair in a baby's bedroom at night. (Guess who now falls asleep in his parents' bed???)





The boys were very helpful with the costume design and execution, though it was very much a parent-led project. The boys pressed the sewing machine pedal, did the paper mache and the mask painting. 








Then there is Papa's costume. Chris did all the planning and construction of this creepy optical illusion:




Can you find Chris? Monkey or mover?




The view from the house after the parade was deliciously beautiful but somehow, on this night, a tad bit spooky.
