Halloween day!

We didn't want Halloween to be a lost campaign day so I came up with the idea of having a booth at Foothill Village's Trick or Treat event. Kids come to the strip mall and every store has candy for them. We handed out candy and "I Like Dave" balloons. It was so much fun to see all the kids in their costumes and talk with neighbors and friends (like Liz and Kristin Fowles!) We have so many supporters in that neighborhood and it was great to talk with them about the election on Tuesday. One family dressed as the Incredibles jumped out of their minivan and asked if they could take a picture with Dave the Doer! It was so cute! I saw a lot of pirates and a few Harry Potters and Hermiones- I always got the biggest grins from those kids!




Then, we tracked down our favorite family, the Wrights. We have made a tradition of always seeing each other on Halloween. L-R Nai Hola (their friend's kiddo) as Superman, Emma as Cruella Deville, John as Harry Potter, Thomas as Batman, me as Hermione and Kate as a witch.



After that, we stopped by Mom and Dad Thornton's house. Sam, Sue and Rick were carving pumpkins on the kitchen floor. Here's some of their handiwork.

Next, we went to Steve and Kerry's house where my mom's tradition of AWESOME Halloween decorations lives on with the next generation.




Sam and Lily went as dragons. Lily was already in her pj's though, so we got a pic with just Sam.



Hope you all had a great Halloween, too!

  1. Great costumes- you can't go wrong with Harry Potter and Hermione. And great idea for the campaign. If kids could vote I'm sure they'd vote for Dave- who wouldn't when you get candy and a balloon? (Sorry about the deleted comment thing above- I'm having the computer equivalent of a bad hair day.)
