Dia De Los Muertes Picture Kodak Moment
The above picture is one that I took just before the Annual Anaheim Spooktacular Halloween Parade. Both my son and daughter are skeletons in the front row. Only an hour before the picture was taken my wife took care of all the make up and costume preparations. It was a lot of work and we almost didn't make it in enough time to snap a photo before the kids had their big day 'floating' through the streets of Anaheim. This was my daughters first time being a part of the Anaheim Spooktacular Halloween Parade and based on my sons past experiences with it I knew she would have a great time. She loved the parade almost as much as me and my wife loved watching her participate in it! The kids were all dressed up as skeletons and were representing the Mexican holiday of Dia De Los Muertes. Dia De Los Muertes is a holiday that pays tribute and rememberance to deceased family members and friends. Keeping my culture and participating in traditions with my kids means a lot to me and is a great way to spend quality family time. Attending and being a part of the Annual Anaheim Spooktacular Halloween Parade is something we do every year and will continue to do, it's a fun time for all of us. Capturing this photo has helped to preserve the happiness that we feel every year during the parade and the fact that I can pick up the photo at anytime to bring an instant smile to my face is what makes this a true Kodak moment for me.
