Halloween

Halloween has always been one of my favorite days of the year, especially here in Massachusetts, where the festivities seem to be particularly acute. 
A beautiful day for an MDA meeting at Wright Lock Farm
 
 
A surprise batch of chicken of the woods!  Probably the best one, yet.
Friends from lab, carving their first pumpkins ever!
It took Alice 7 hours, but I'd say her first pumpkin was a huge success!
I can't think of a creepier setting than this one...
Halloween was on a Friday night and the only place to be was in Salem!  Alice, Seth and I lucked out with traffic, parking, and stumbling upon this really awesome historic street (from the 1700s) decorated for trick-or-treaters.
There were some big trick-or-treaters, too.  We had Alice knock on a few doors ;o)  This was her first time trick-or-treating and I was honored to take her :P
This house had old-school horror movies projected onto it.
Hard to see, but there is a giant pumpkin here.
Probably my favorite part of the evening was the free Energy Tunnel (aka Tunnel of Love). 
Whatever the tunnel was supposed to do must have worked--I felt great and wanted to go through it again and again!

~Happy Halloween~
