Scare At The Square 2008

We decided to meet up with some of our good friends to attend Knoxville's first annual "Scare At The Square" this year instead of trick or treating around the neighborhood. Since it was the first year of sponsoring this event, we were not sure what to expect, but ended up having a wonderful time. All of the restaurants were open downtown in Market Square and vendors were handing out treats. A band also played live music- which Tyler LOVED since the harmonica was one of their key instruments. We loved looking at all the costumes and just walking around.

Our friends Michael, Shannon, Lydia and new baby Eli and Michael, Wendy, Ruby and Wyatt.

After posing for pictures with our friends and all of our children, we all parked it in front of the band and I discovered Tyler's harmonica in my purse. He played along beside us and before we knew it he took off to go onstage. In case there was ever a doubt, Tyler is not shy nor does he have any opposition to performing for a large audience.

The best part of the night was when the band announced that they would be having a kids costume contest. Just for kicks, I took Carson up on stage to show off his skunk costume and he won!!! He actually won "overall best costume" out of over fifty kids. My friend Wendy had her video camera and was filming some of the contest- she is going to go home and see if she was able to capture the win- I will post it asap if she has it.

Recognize a certain pirate on stage playing with the band?
