This year's family costume theme was the classic arcade game of Pac-Man. Besides the Pac-Man character, we made Inky and Blinky, two of the four ghosts. The costumes were made with cardboard refrigerator and bike boxes, duct tape, and contact paper. We added Pac-Man sound effects by recording them onto my MP3 player and playing it back through a tiny external speaker.

At the Pumpkin Prowl, Dane, Brock, and Maddy wore individual costumes of a vampire, Gilligan, and Spot.
