Halloween Parade - October 31






The town of Irvington sponsors a Halloween Parade, which is more of march, because no one is actually watching the parade, everyone is marching in it. It ends at the school and there are goody bags for all the kids and a band. All around good family fun. Nia dressed up in her butterfly fairy costume and had a great time in the parade, eating goodies, and dancing to the band. She and Daddy thought it was a very tiring day!
