Halloween is a festival that is a testament to human imagination. From a child’s perspective, it is an opportunity to be whatever they want to be. More importantly, the shackles of reality are non-existent for that one day in the calendar. For parents, it is a chance, either to relive pleasant memories or to make new ones for their kids. Michael Phelps, soon to be a father to a fourth, will have many more chances to enjoy the festival. This year, he got to relive a fond memory.
