When I asked Gus what he wanted to be for Halloween, with out really thinking, he said green tractor. This also happens to be his favorite toy of all time. So I said, "a green tractor it is!" I started searching online and found some great ideas. I stole a little from all of them to make this costume. Of course, when it came down to keeping it all together, Daddy helped out to put the finishing touches on it. It was truly a family project. He finished off the costume with his green tractor hat and a john deere hoodie.
He was a big hit at our local Halloween parade. The whole town shuts down so the kids (and many parents) can trick or treat down the main road while the businesses give out candy. Idyllwild doesn't really have any neighborhoods and no sidewalks. This is the safest for the kids. It usually has a turn out of about 1,500 people. This year was a great turn out and the weather was a wonderful autumn day.

| He refused to take the tractor off when he was tired, so he would just "park it" for a few minutes to take a rest. |

| Our friends, Monica, Collin and little Orion as a punk band. Collin actually attached the drums to the stoller so Orion could play them as they walked in the parade. |
