Squid!
Saturday’s expedition was the Seafair Torchlight 5k, where Mom, Dad, Rhys, Carol, Courtney and Aaron went as pirates, and I was the calamari that was running away from them. We got second in the group costume contest, beaten by people dressed up as the characters from Pirates of the Caribbean.
The mantle is made of tie-dyed cloth stretched over a paper and wire frame, while the tentacles are a wire frame inside a stuffed cloth tube that was also tie-dyed. Amazingly, we made almost the whole costume in one day.

Sounds and looks like lot’s of fun! A calamari being chased, reminds me of sushi!
