Cable Car Halloween

Actually, cable cars *on* Halloween would be more appropriate title. You see, we started our day with a great morning activity - Daddy took Jasper and me out to ride cable cars! We started out on the California Street line. Look at the great big hill we went up and down:

 

But the best part was that Daddy let us sit in the outside section of the cable car, open to the street and the elements. It felt a little dangerous, but totally exciting at the same time, and the views were grrrrrrreat!

But once we got to the transfer spot to the Powell Street line and saw the cable car safety tips, we realized how many we were breaking...

 

So decided to move inside the cab for the next leg of our journey...

Just as well, since we were now getting close to our ultimate destination - the Cable Car Museum.
 

We had a great time at the museum, where Jasper got to retrace the cable car route we took to get there on an antique map - 

 

We got to check out some vintage cars - 

And best of all, we got to check out the actual giant sheaves that pull all four cable car routes up the great hills of San Francisco!

 

After the museum we jumped on the F trolley (our favorite) back home to get there more quickly...

So that we wouldn't miss this:

Trick-or-treating with all our cousins! In the afternoon we headed over to Keira and Zachary's house in Potrero Hill, which is known for its annual trick-or-treating parade. Don't all the cousins look great in our costumes?

Though Jasper's costume may not have been optimized for actually getting his hands on the treats - many of which seemed to be out of his wing-span's reach. 

Luckily, though, it wasn't all apples for treats - there was plenty of candy to be had, too, and as soon as we got home, we set about the exciting task of sorting our loot.

 Hmmm, I just hope that there are some nut-free, wheat-free, egg-free candies in here...

Otherwise, maybe Mommy will let me into her stash of pure dark and milk chocolates as a consolation prize?

Happy Halloween everyone! We hope your trick-or-treating was as great as ours!
