Another Halloween, this time with both kids fully able to appreciate it. Sierra went as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz- at first surprising that she would choose a character from a 70 year old movie, until one considers the shoes. She ended up regretting the ruby slippers at the end, as foot aches cut short trick or treating.
Kade chose a skeleton costume- even more of a traditionalist.
As a warm up to trick-or-treating, we took the kids to the mud run in Sacramento. This is a race of varying distances with obstacles (walls, beams, ropes, water), that culminates in a 50 foot mud pit to crawl through. Don ran the 5K, Sierra ran a mile (in 16 minutes, no less – one of the top 10 7-year old finishers!), and Kade 100 yards. Laura took pictures.
We all slept quite well after a very long day.
