Family Costumes for Halloween Done Right by Our Members

October 26, 2015 by Kevin McKeever 3 Comments

With Halloween coming up this Saturday, we asked some of our City Dads Group members around the country to send us photos of their best family costumes from years past. Let’s just say, we have some pretty creative people among us.
