#ThrowbackThursday Halloween Circa 1992

image

This is from a Halloween in El Paso, TX. I was in the 1st grade so it’s probably 1992, maybe 91. From left to right, my cousin Guille (pronounced Gi-yeh) is Cruella de Vil, my sister Laura is the Karate Kid, my brother Oscar is Spidey, my cousin Ramon is a lawyer/business man? (he was a weird kid), and I of course was & currently am Batman (even then I was better than Affleck). We’re all at the Sunland Park Mall, trick or treating at all the stores. I don’t remember much else except the jewelry store that handed out “I Am Loved” buttons instead of candy. Joiks.
