squid-man emerges from the shadows

We’d seen (and enjoyed)(and photographed) this market during the day. And then we got sage advice from Allison Scola*, who told us we needed to see it at night, too.

bennett

This is Bennett. She will be in the 4th grade in the fall. She loves sports (all of them)(but especially soccer) and never ever walks if she can run. She wants to be an astronaut. She’s got an outstanding, quick sense of humor and has a sweet and gentle soul.
