Bad news was that Campbell came down with the flu the on Halloween Eve. So we spent Halloween Day cooped up in the hotel room hoping that Campbell would be well enough to go out Trick or Treating. (Wouldn't that be the worst as a kid to miss Halloween? She'd been talking about it and looking forward to it for so long.) So, although we didn't go with M, T, E & M like we had planned because we didn't want to risk getting them sick, Campbell felt good enough to head out in the evening. So that's the good news. Even better news was that it was 72 degrees....at night. No snow pants underneath the costumes! Whoop whoop!
Having no idea where was a good place to go, we found a really nice neighborhood by a school. The landscaping and architecture is so different from home. Gabe and I had a great time taking it all in & the kids had a blast.
Some good lines from the night:
- At one house, Blake took a candy & then went back for another saying: "I need one for my mom." But then he wouldn't give it to me. He totally scammed them!
- After we'd gone for quite a while, Campbell said "I'm tired from saying 'trick or treat.'"

| How many more pictures do we have to take in front of cactuses?!?! |

| Quite a good haul. |
