Dan and I were going to dress up, but it was too cold and blowy for my costume, and he said all the ooompff of putting on a mask dissolved soon after we arrived, because it was such a struggle to set up in the high winds.

Everybody loves a samosa, even princesses!

Go Batgirl!

And lastly, two dogs who didn't dress up for Halloween.
