We met up with Savannah and family for the easiest trick or treating on earth, walking the hallways of their 100 unit building. We took the elevator up and started at the top.

The woman that opened the door was wearing a “naughty devil” outfit, talking soft as a man filmed her… Run!

After a night filled with spin art, Aunt Mindy and Noah woke up determined to tie dye shirts before Aunt Mindy drove back to NH. Here they are heading out for supplies.

This was my great-great-uncle Harry’s medal from the State of New Hampshire for his service in the first World War.

A bunch of hours later, after the party, and a little after Noah’s bedtime…

…the Red Sox game was still on, Nate was over, and Noah was hopped up on pudding that Nate put chocolate chips in.

Walking to the car, catching a ride from Grampa Holt.

The other weekend when Nana and Grampa Holt were in town from NH, we drove to the Queens County Farm Museum. First thing we tackled was their corn maze. It came with instructions.
