Dressed in his fireman Halloween costume, Jayden Rodriguez, 2, came out of the Fountain Valley Regional Hospital on Friday to watch a parade of vehicles drive by, waving to some real firefighters during the 15th annual Pediatric Halloween Parade.

A handful of patients were able to go outside to watch the parade, while it was livestreamed on a screen inside for more of the youngsters having to stay at the hospital during the spooky holiday.

Hospital staffers joined in the fun, wearing a variety of costumes, from Rubik’s cubes to a Mr. Potato Head. Angela Guitar of Laguna Niguel, a registered nurse at FVRH, dressed her dog, Gizmo, as a super dog, complete with a cape.

Decorated pumpkins were also on display, most having a hospital theme, and pediatric patients received non-candy goodies donated by staff and the community.
