Halloween Happenings

Hey everybody!
Here's our Halloween and late fall recap. One Friday, Shea and I took a trip to a nearby park where we petted some sheep, ducks, and chickens, saw a horse, and played on the playground. I snapped one of my favorite pics of Shea there. Just before Halloween, Barbara and the kids came for a visit, so we went apple picking. The kids had a great time and we got some tasty apples to boot! Salem State had a Halloween event where kids could dress up, get some candy, and have a good time. They even had a jumpy castle! Shea actually wore his Halloween costume for this event, but wasn't in the mood for it actually on Halloween though. For the first time since we've been up here, we didn't actually give out any candy on Halloween. We normally hang on the porch drinking a beer or two, giving out candy to the tons of kids that come by every year. This year, however, Shea woke up late from a nap and wanted to go downtown. So, we obliged. We ended up walking around for about 3 or 4 hours. It's too crazy for pics though, so you'll just have to imagine the density of Times Square on New Year's Eve spread out throughout Salem. Anyway, enjoy the pics and look for more in a few minutes when I post another update.

Love,
Doug, Jess, and Shea

Love this pic! Sorry, no silly captions for this one.

Shea donning his new outfit.

Kermie!

Better cropping and I could have convinced you all that Shea's growing quickly.

Riding on the train around Salem Commons just before Halloween.

Do you think Shea liked this ride?

Brenna was teaching Shea the fine art of socially acceptable larceny - stealing an apple at an orchard.
Riding on the wagon to go pick apples. No, that's not Johnny Dep, just Jared.
