Haunted Happenings - A Party. Some Mud and a Lot of Activity

Here's what we did during the Halloween weekend:

We had a party at school. Here are the girls. They were supposed to be coordinated. Ellie is a bee, of sorts. When I saw them with eye makeup on I was taken aback a bit. I didn't even recognize Christy at first. Her hair is normally down and she wears glasses.

Here are some of the boys. Ethan is a soldier from the museum and the other two are apocalyptic survivors.

Here's Ethan with a ghost and a walrus. The walrus costume was a big hit.

The next day we raced. It was a national level race on an extremely muddy course due to the big storm we had earlier in the week. There were riders who traveled from many places to take part in this race. In junior catagory only less than half of those who started finished.Ethan had to stop part way through. The extreme mud caked on his bike began to do damage to his brakes.

I was super proud of the girls. There were the only two girls to finish the course. The mud broke Ellie's derailleur so she had to run and carry her bike for the last mile and a half.
