The Hudson River

Just a few minutes away, next to the Dobbs Ferry train station, are some great views of the Hudson River. If the weather is nice, you can see the bridge, today it wasn't so great - a little foggy, but if you look really carefully, in one of the photos you can see it.

Okay, so if the weather was good, it spans the river here :)

Halloween in Dobbs Ferry

31st October - Halloween

I went trick or treating with Shirin and some of the other children on our street (+ the parents/Au pairs).

Shirin dressed up as sleeping beauty and Cyrus would have been Curious George but he refused to wear his costume.

It was quite neat for the kids. The 2 main streets in Dobbs were shut off from the traffic, and all the stores had someone posted outside their doors to give out candy (lollies!!) to the children.

There was music playing and some professional photographers there.

The fire department had an Ambulance of Doom set up, so the children got to walk through an ambulance.

From Left: Killian, Giulia (Killian and Campbell's Au Pair), Campbell, Elize and Joseph (Killian and Campbell's Dad). In the back are Shirin and Navaz.

Navaz and Shirin get 'candy' from Elvis for the second time.

On the way back home. There is a short cut to our house through a walkway called the Aqueduct Trail.

Our group almost home now. Killian, Shirin, Elize, Campbell, Navaz and Elize's Mum.

Just one of the 3 walls of costumes you could choose from.

You can tell it is Halloween when there are broomsticks in the middle of the road.
