Halloween

 The Halloween goblins were on our side this year as the rain ended just in time for trick-or-treat to begin.
We had to buy firewood this year since ours was/is so waterlogged. We found that sitting in front of a paid for fire was just as good as a free fire. The neighbors once again joined us around the fire while we waited to hand out candy. This year most of the area celebrated on Halloween so it was a slow evening which was just fine for us. CJ opted to stay home this year so having leftover candy was not a problem!

Target practice, of course!

The 8th Grade Goes to DC

The 8th grade trip to DC is something of a right of passage for middleschoolers in Central Ohio. The buses left at 6am Monday morning and returned just before 10pm Friday night. In between the kids learned much more than the probably realize. Not only did they learn of the history of our great country but they learned a lot about themselves during the week without parents.

 These are just a few of CJ's pictures from the trip.
