Halloween

last day of the strike – fortunately. Jeff and Elizabeth in town, and met up with Lizzie at the Art Institute for a little culture. poked around the park and enjoyed the first snow. back home and got ready for some cold trick or treating. Mira had a ton of fun and ended up with so much candy.

orchard

made the most of the first day of the school strike, and drove west to an orchard for the day. fun time picking apples, playing in the pumpkins, and bouncing until exhaustion. stopped for Mexican in Dekalb before the long drive home.
