Trick or Treat!

It was a great year for 'Trick or Treating' . The weather was nice and balmy for the end of October. We went with the Robbins' and the Maddy's again this year. Meredith collected 116 pieces of candy that she likes and Owen had 131 - he likes everything!

Pretty freaky decorations from the neighbors, the one house even had an old TV in the yard with static going....."TV people"

One stash of candy.

Shaw Farm

We went to get our pumpkins at Shaw Farm this year. It was fun but HOT. Nana and Aunt Peggy took Owen here when he was in preschool but it was cold and rainy and Peggy stayed in the car. It was a first visit for Mere, Kirk and myself. We did the corn maze which took us an hour - they had punches 'planted' throughout the maze and if you found all 6 you got a free pumpkin so of course Owen and Kirk were all about finding all 6. It must have been 90 that day and we had already been sitting in the heat for Owen's football game so walking in flip flops through a bunch of corn stalks for a $2 pumpkin was a bit trying on me and Mere's nerves but we got all the punches and our free pumpkins. Not sure what our big pumpkins even looked like because I think my vision was blurring from dehydration. We had a good time although it could have been a bit cooler.

Not enjoying the corn maze any more, we were hot, tired and THIRSTY!

Randomness

I like it because the sky is...so clear and blue.
