October Kickoff

This past Thursday was the annual Haunted Happenings Parade here in Salem. It's basically a kickoff to the Halloween season. See, here in Salem, Halloween is not just a day. The whole month of October is celebrated with costumes pretty much every day.

We let Acadia stay up past her bedtime, and we headed downtown Salem to watch the parade. Adults and kids alike were dressed up. While we didn't dress up Acadia (we were rushing to get there after work) we did put some ears on her so she showed a little festivity!










Saturday was the "Bizarre Bazaar". Again, it's an annual thing here where vendors are set up outside the main shopping area selling everything from fake vampire teeth, to knit hats, to kettlecorn. It's definitely good people watching.

After the bazaar we headed to the park since it was a beautiful day. Acadia was excited to get out of her stroller and walk around. She's so proud of herself walking!





She's so proud she won't even hold my hand anymore!
