This year's Halloween party/treasure hunt came packaged with a weekend of camping at our pretty tree-filled state park. Yes! We unexpectedly (and very happily) acquired a mascot (yes, that's a real bear), had a blackjack table (we camp in style), got some of the most adorable trick-or-treaters (and even had candy to give them), cooked chili - among other things - over an open flame and celebrated fall, friends and family in the clear, chilly autumn weather. I miss it already.
