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.

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.
