I have always loved Halloween! I can remember being a child and walking through the neighborhoods filled with other excited children in their costumes. I can still smell the cool crisp air and remember the taste of caramel and hot apple cider from my autumn childhood days. Dressing up in a costume was always an adventure and I can remember almost every costume I ever wore. Halloween is special to me. I still find a childlike joy in the things that make Halloween memorable...haunted houses, ghost stories, candy-corn, bobbing for apples, pumpkin patches and hay rides. I hope that my children find as much joy in this season as I do. -a
