Similar to my friend, Anne, our big plans for attending Halloween activities were cut short when August started running a fever again. He ran a really high one Friday night, but it sort of leveled out Saturday. As soon as we got ready to go, he was starting to get hotter. So we ended up just doing some local trick-or-treating. Truthfully, it was just about the most enjoyable Halloween we've had in a few years. Low-key and old-school.
