Face Painting in MacArthur Park

This past weekend, I was able to celebrate Halloween in a new and interesting way--with the kids of MacArthur Park, a beautiful strip of green surrounding a small lake near Downtown LA.

MacArthur Park was a not-so-nice place in the 1990's, but thanks to the city's revitalization efforts, it's a safer place for kids and family these days.

I helped decorate pumpkins, distribute candy--and most fun of all--decorate faces of the neighborhood kids.

What a joy!
