Week 12: Our First Hawaii Halloween

LK had a wonderful first Halloween in Hawaii!  I have said it before and I will say it over and over, the best thing about Halloween is the fun it is for kids.  They get to dress up in costume of their own choice and go door-to-door (or in LK's case mall store to mall store) and get free candy!  Could there be a better day for kids?  Well, besides Christmas and Birthdays perhaps.

Anyway, for the first time LK chose (with an extremely ghoulish delight) a scary costume:

A spoooooky skeleton!

In order to avoid the supposed madness that is Waikiki (obviously not five year old friendly), we took LK to Ala Moana Mall to trick or treat at the shops.  Let me tell you, he cleaned up in a way that I never did trick or treating int the 70s.  He literally got a bag full of candy, little toys, stickers, etc.  And we didn't even hit up the whole mall.  The place is really big, and we got way too tired after the first hour and a half.

Tricks or treats!

Everyone loved his costume.  I guess they thought a five year old skeleton was the cutest thing.  People wanted to take their picture with him.  People laughed and smiled wherever he went.  And a trolley driver stopped her trolley to include him in her tour.  It was quite a day for LK, he absolutely loved it.
