Scary, Oozy, Slimy

Saturday was a day of fun cute kids features at two Halloween events in town. I went to the annual Scary, Oozy Slimy day at Sandy Creek Nature Center and to a Ghost Ball at Memorial Park. I love photographing cute kids, especially ones in costumes. I never got a picture I really liked, but had fun trying.
