Journey With Elizabeth: Halloween at The District

Elizabeth and Kaila headed over to The District in Tustin to take advantage of some trick or treating. The only problem was that I got the time wrong...the trick or treating was scheduled between 3 and 6 P.M. and the girls were running into the shops and restaurants at 11 a.m. screaming, "trick or treat!". It worked to their advantage, however, since most stores hadn't even opened their candy stash so the girls got the pick of the litter.

It did take us a while to figure out that we were WAY too early. And we should have caught on when we saw that the girls were the only trick or treaters in the entire mall.

It was however a wonderfully fun morning and Kaila and Elizabeth were just happy to be together.

And, this wasn't their only Halloween escapade. On Halloween Eve, Elizabeth, Kaila, Mei Mei, and Megan all met up for a Costume Contest at the University Center. I have some photos of that but they are on my other camera and I haven't been able to download them yet--hopefully I will get to that tomorrow.

What a fun Halloween for the girls.

At one point Elizabeth and Kaila decided to stop and count their loot.

Here is Elizabeth making her way through the restaurant after we had to wake up the manager so that he could go into the back and get the girls some candy. As you can see from the empty tables--they weren't exactly expecting us.
