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~
