Trick or Treat

Our Halloween plans this year were disrupted by Superstorm Sandy. Sandy hit our area on Monday afternoon/ evening, but because the power was still out and there were still so many trees down, they cancelled trick or treating. We received this news about two o'clock in the afternoon. At this point, we had all been trapped in the house together with no power since Monday, we hadn't showered, everything in the fridge had gone bad, the laundry was piling up and there was no end in sight. Plus it was getting cold! (The power finally came back on Friday night...) So, we got word from Aunt Sarah that they had power and were planning to go out, so we hopped in the car and headed to her house. Normally, I would say 3 hours is too far to drive for trick or treating but, the kids had so much fun with their cousin Kevin, we may have to do it again next year! As an added bonus we were all able to shower and I even brought the laundry. Here are the pictures we took at the house before we left. I will have to keep looking for some that include Kevin and Maggie...
