10/11/15 Asked Adam again to take a picture of the Inside Out crew’s halloween costumes, but instead got too many shots of nothing. As a Chin, I feel compelled to share the incredulity from scrolling through these photos with all of you! When I asked Adam about them, he said that he got bored and took a bunch of shots of Uncle Owkie.
