We're home again...... it's always a bit longer to fly west and this trip just seemed rather endless. We didn't get home until after 8 and since it was Halloween, we managed to avoid the hordes (or not) and having all that left over chocolate.
This was the color from the front door of their house.....there was an occasional maple that showed it's fall colors but otherwise, it was disappointing.
We made a search for the perfect pumpkins. I lobbied for 'smaller is better' but their choices were reasonable . Mason wielded the sharp knife but left me with cleaning out the slimy innards. Andy was all in.
The trumpet and sax player had their usual 3 hour band practice that night so didn't get to do the neighborhood thing. They did have 'trunk or treat' after practice and I think that's a clever and convenient option.... and safer than in their dark and sprawling neighborhood. ( yes, I realize that's just an old person's opinion and carries no weight).
In the big regional competition on Saturday they came in 2nd (in their division ) for the 1st time this year. Actually, as disappointed as they were, I think it will make them sharper and more determined for the Nationals on the 10th at Met Life stadium in NJ. I wish we could be there for it.
Otherwise, it's good to be home for a bit ..... I'll wander back in a couple weeks as Jon continues his training.
