Halloween

Jack requested a shark costume this year, and for some reason a hammerhead shark really spoke to him, so that was his choice.  

Derrick and Jack won the costume contest at the school party.

Trick or treating on a warm and windy Halloween night.

 Organizing and counting the loot.

 The weather allowed us to sit outside, watch the crowd, and hand out candy.

Fair

The Topsfield Fair came and went last month.  The weather was not so great this year, but we managed to squeeze in a couple of visits.

During the parade, Jack gathered enough candy to fill a shopping bag.

He forgot about it within a few days and I made some co-workers happy 

by bringing it to the office.

Derrick joined in on the fried dough making this year.

Delicious!

There were lots of rides.

Mostly rides that go in a circle.

Maple cotton candy.

 Sand sculpture in progress.

 Some hot buttered corn.

A giant pumpkin.

Four and a half feet tall.

 See you next year, Fair!
