Happy Halloween!

We were invited to join in a tiny tot parade in Stapleton (a new, very Desperate Housewives neighborhood), which used to be the location of Denver's airport (and is about 15 minutes East of where we live). When they moved the airport further away from Denver, there was a large amount of unused land, which they decided to rebuild as a "new, trendy (read: very white) " neighborhood. The houses are all brand new - and huge. But they are all right next to each other. And the yards are tiny.

Going there always makes me feel like I need a manicure and a perfect haircut.














The parade...













Kermit...













Go, Kermit. Go!













After an hour of running around, there's no place like Dada's arms...













From there, we headed home to trick-or-treat.

Chase got the hang of it after the first house. And, although she didn't get to eat any of it, she still enjoyed the process. She was so super sweet, and said Thank You (dah-dah) and Happy Halloween (Hah, Hah, Hah, Hah, Hah) to everyone who gave her candy.

Ok, if you haven't figured it out yet most of Denver's suburbs are 'very white'. Highlands Ranch is also known as Vanilla Valley around here. When I first moved it here I felt weird just because of the lack of diversity. I think the classes/races are actually more segregated here than in the South. It helps to live in a slightly older neighborhood. I hate to say it, but after awhile you get used to the whiteness. Luckily we expose our children to more diversity through service projects and organizations outside of school.
