Happy Halloween!

We carved pumpkins this morning!Doug's is on the left (it's the Hatbox Ghost from the Haunted Mansion) and mine is to the right.Spooky!
Doug and I dressed up (with our pumpkins!) before going out for drinks: (the pumpkins didn't come out for drinks)
Happy Halloween! Thinking of you!

Pumpkins scream in the dead of night

Although Halloween isn't until Saturday this was our last chance to go see all the festivities at Disneyland. We went to the petting zoo (I got to pet a goat and a sheep! and assure a little girl that the goat wouldn't "bite my fingers off". Apparently I look comfortable around the livestock, there were many employees around, she specifically asked me). There's a lady carving pumpkins in the petting zoo :
Inside the petting zoo corral there's a little house that's all decorated in turn of the century Halloween Decorations - I love them! And I made some poker playing friends:

We then went wait for Jack & Sally (who were LATE! but very talkative. They said they were going to see about making a special Halloween stop in Azerbaijan):

After a coffee break we went over to Disney's California Adventure to see Candy Corn Acres. Goofy was there!

He's waving HI!! (so is Doug)

Then, finally, the fireworks. A special guests flies over the castle about half way through the video (I thought you'd enjoy that)

Huntington Beach

Before the harsh, harsh Southern California winter hits, we went to the beach one last time:

Doug's Birthday!!!

Happy Birthday Douglas!! We went to Disneyland for the day (he made his Birthday Button into a special combo HI AMY!/Birthday Button!):

We then went eat supper at Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner - it's AWESOME and there's a huge chicken in the front! It was a good day.

NL West Champions!

At the beginning of the season Doug and I bought a little mini-season pack of tickets. It was twelve games - and it just happened that the last one was the deciding game of the NL West (against the Rockies)! Super exciting! (even if Manny was on the team)

Mickey's Trick-or-Treat Party!

Doug loves Halloween. Looooves it. Like I love Christmas! We don't have big plans for Halloween, so we went to Mickey's Trick-or-Treat party. We got a big discount with our Annual Passes, so this was a great excuse to dress up in costume and get some candy and meet some characters that usually aren't out in the parks. We dressed up as a Film Noir couple - no specific name, just the idea.

We got to meet Jack Sparrow (who was exactly like the movie). He was really really fun to talk to - he asked what was the port in Azerbaijan is. When I said Baku he just looked kinda confused and noted that it was a little far from the Caribbean for him get to easily.He then proceeded to take the HI AMY! sign and say he was going to give it to you. I must have had some look in my eye, because he quickly gave it back. Still, he may be on his way - keep an eye out for him.

After watching the special little Halloween Parade we went to meet Lady Tremain and the Stepsisters (Anastasia & Drizella):They were super super excited to meet Doug and were flirting with him - and not so excited to meet me. Lady Tremain was somewhat miffed you didn't bother to make the trip to see her and expected her to pose for a picture.

A super fun evening. Happy Halloween!
