First of all, I am so excited to find a coven with “witch” to properly celebrate Halloween. With weather in the 60s, blue skies, and an algae-green cauldron lake to paddle about it, this was a lovely Sunday afternoon. Can’t wait until New Years when the witches transform into polar bears!
(I’m on the pink SUP, demonstrating proper use of a witch’s oar!)
The evening was even better. Wes and Piper both invited a few friends over, and Kyla and her BFF took the boys trick-or-treating in the ‘hood, neighbors forewarned. Dwayne and I set up a fire and outdoor furniture on our street, and prepped the roasting station for guests and neighbors. Piper’s group played video games and ate candy, and Dwayne and I relaxed around the fire, chatting with new and old neighbors. I started liking Halloween when I had kids, but I only loved Halloween when it became a community celebration!
And the best part? Right before the evening began, Piper and I realized that Ernie didn’t have a costume. She quickly made a hat so he could be a grumpy strawberry. He clearly loves his costume!
