Halloween Parade 2012

Veronica and the costume that won her an award from her Brownie troop.

So it was another beautiful day for the annual Halloween costume parade at Julia, Olivia and Veronica's school. This always makes it nice for the people dressed up as cheerleaders and Olympic swimmers.

It also made it nice for me to ride my bike up there again. Just like last year, I was scurrying up the street at the last minute, but arrived in plenty of time.

Something new this year was the addition of a mini flag corps and marching band. Pretty sweet, actually. And it was led around the block by the wicked witch. Another nice touch. 

Olivia crawled out of bed and was off to class. Good timing.

I'm not sure what was going on here. But I had (green) hair envy.

Justin Bieber was apparently "hot."

Ms. Free was supposed to be an 80s girl. She bailed on it.

Here comes Veronica again!

Julia had some scary dudes providing escort for her.

And here's everyone but Lauren ready to trick or treat.
