There was something called "Pumpkins on the Pier" in Pismo Beach, CA, so off we went. We exited the boardwalk and headed through the dunes to the beach for most of our walk into town.

 It is such a pretty walk into town.

 Crossing over the dunes and heading to the beach.


There was a Halloween costume contest for the kids. The kids were grouped by age and there were a lot of pretty elaborate costumes. It appeared that some of the parents were more into the competition than their kids were, but it looked like everyone had a good time.

 Yikes!!!

 The parents seemed more into the festivities than the young ones.

 Perched high above the crowds, watching the fishermen at the end of the pier.

It seems the surfers sit and wait for the right wave about 95% of the time.  

 This pair shared the third place - from the movie Dumb and Dumber.

 This adorable little robot took second place. He never cracked a smile.

 This spooky little lady took first place.

 This was my favorite. Have you seen the movie "Up?"

Hoagies was recommended for their fish and chips which seemed perfect for lunch - it was excellent! Outdoor seating meant Sam could dine with us. He was mostly interested in cookie crumbs left by the baby at the table before us.

 Our timing was fantastic - we had no wait. But, the line was out the door by the time we were leaving.

 Such an unusual rose.

 The electrical wires have mated with this eucalyptus tree. It has grown around them.

Of course, we had to check on the activity at the Butterfly Grove. There was a noticeable increase in the number of butterflies and with the warmth of the day, we saw a great many of them flying around. 

They were fairly active today.  There are more every day.
