Halloween 2010

We had a fun Halloween day starting with a trip out to Mechanicsville to meet Baby June.  June belongs to our friends Matt and Sarah from Durham and Sarah's family is from this area so they hosted a little "meet the baby" party.  It was a beautiful day and there were several other little ones there to play with Charlie.  We had a great time and loved seeing Baby June and her mom and dad.

After a good nap, Charlie was ready to put on his lion suit to go "trick-or-treating" which involved ringing on one doorbell then strapping up to head down to Hanover Ave. (our tradition) to see all the crazy decorations and costumes.  Charlie seemed pretty wowed by all the commotion... as evidenced by his "holy cow" look the whole time we were there.  He made a pretty un-scary lion based on the reactions of everyone who passed by with their "oohs and ahhs" :)

The back-up plan in case the lion head was unacceptable to Charlie
