Halloween

Elizabeth is still dressing up for Halloween and trick or treating. She went with a big group of friends this year. They all put a lot of effort into their costumes. She was a pirate! 

 

Nathan Pumpkin Carving

 

Nathan went to the Dive Club's underwater pumpkin carving dive. Sarah carved pumpkins underwater. He did not. He carved on land. 

MCC Championship Meet at Leslie Groves

The last meet of the year was the MCC Championship at Leslie Groves Park. Our high school put it on. Elizabeth had another big PR and got her time under 26 minutes! She ran a 25:54!  Nathan still wasn't feeling the greatest and ran an 18:48. 

The boys teams from both Richland High Schools gave flowers to the girls as they finished their final race. Here's Elizabeth with some of her besties group of cross country runners. Their other friend was warming up for her varsity race. 

These pictures are backwards again but here is Elizabeth running into the chute for the finish line. 

Warmups before the race

Nathan and friends putting spikes in their shoes. 

The highlight of the race was Aunt Karen's appearance! She came out all the way from New York to visit for the weekend! She cheered on the kids and we have a fantastic time visiting with her. 

She brought rockets!!!
