Downtown Trick or Treat




Massimo the Scuba diver
Dante the Scarecrow

Mommy and Abrianna as "Dorothy"

Massimo is excited to get some treats (check out my cool tank)!

Massimo really wanted to wait to sit in the fire truck
This is our 3rd year at the Downtown Trick or Treat. You are loving it more and more each year. None of us like the lines to get the candy...but you were a good trooper and hung in there with patience...last year you didn't do so well waiting. You decided you were done after a little while and just liked walking around and checking out everyone's costumes. You are totally obsessed (like them but are scared of them) with the Scream costumes as well as the skeletons. Dante & Abrianna had a blast getting out of the stroller and roaming around but we didn't want much of that because they are pretty quick and with thousands of people around we were afraid of losing someone! Everyone got a kick out of Massimo's costume (kudos to dad for creating it!) and lots of people took pictures of the twins...next year we'll shoot for a theme for all 3! Anyway, it was a fun time for all of you!

The theme for the twins was such a cute idea! Massimo's costume is great too! Love the pics. We went to a downtown trick or treat too this year but it was 40 degrees and we froze our butts off! Nothing like Livermore. boo hoo!

Our Trip to the SF Aquarium by the Bay

Fun at the SF Aquarium by the Bay

We took a trip to the SF Aquarium by the Bay today to satisfy Massimo's constant wish to "see the ocean and fishies". At the end of the day we asked Massimo if he had fun (yes, of course he says) and his most favorite thing was the...scuba diver! Yes, that's all he talked about when we asked him what he saw. Of course when we jogged his memory and talked about the fish and what we did he enjoyed "finding Nemo" (one of his favorite movies - and where the fascination of scuba divers all started...don't be surprised if that's what he ends up being for Halloween!) and touching the Stingray and sharks...and outside of the aquarium he got to see trains (Bart), trolleys, buses, and of course the ocean! It was all very exciting for him to be in a big city like that with so much variety around him...so many things to see. The twins loved it, too. Abrianna got to interact a lot more since she is walking and more able, it was a little hard to let Dante crawl so he got to snack and check it all out from stroller view. He did get out at the end in the toddler area and got to touch the sea urchins and he loved that so much! He got really excited watching all the fish swim by. It was a fun day (and tiring chasing after at least 2 and sometimes 3).
