Halloween 2008
Alright. I admit it. I'm waaaaay behind on this blog.I would just like to give a very big thank you to all those friends and family who have emailed in the last week or so. Grandpa Lloyd is in a much better place. And like Mom says, he's probably having coffee (and a treat, if I know Grandpa) with Grandma Inez. hahaha
Here's a photo from Halloween. Hard to believe that was almost two months ago. This season is just flying by! My friend Heather (in purple) was going to go as an octopus. Then I had this genius idea to go as the Crary Touch Tank. There's an aerial photo of the touch tank in a few posts back about Flat Stanley. There is a small tank of sea creatures here in the lab, and people are allowed to touch them. We created these costumes in less than three days and won "Best Antarctican" category. Justin (in yellow) and I were dressed as two different types of nudibranchs. Bamma (in pink) went as a pteropod. Ron (in red) went as a pycnogonid, and Heather was of course an octopus. We took a few liberties with our costumes... like how pteropods don't have hair or do they actually exist in the Touch Tank. Pycnogonids also do not have hair, nor do they wear capes. Justin's nudibranch costume also sported a wig as did Heather's octopus. The wigs just matched the costumes so well. Note: there are no octopi in the Touch Tank either. I turned around at one point when I felt someone rubbing my foam spikes and found the divers, Rob and Steve, admiring our costumes. They told me they'd even put a pteropod in the tank the next week just for us!
