Halloween

In keeping with the traditional lining the front porch…Anthony is Black Plague, Ben is Forrest Gump, Sam a motocross rider, Jacob an 80s exerciser, Ammon “Dark Vader” as he calls it. They all went to the Halloween party at the Dempsey’s from 6:30-8:30. Except Jacob, who insisted on going to swim team free day from 5:45-6:30. He was THE ONLY one and had so much fun with the coaches playing various games and making up new strokes 

?

After practice he and Ammon went from 7-8:45. It was so cold outside They didn’t even go trick or treating.
