Happy Halloween

Luke wanted to be Waldo this year. How fun is that? Remember all the hours spent finding waldo in those cool "Where's Waldo books? Bob and I joined in the fun and created a where's Waldo page of our own.

Unfortunately Luke worked on Halloween - I should say fortunately because a lot of people enjoyed his costume. He didn't get out on Saturday because he needed to finish is application for MIT. It was due November 1st.

It sounds like he's leaning toward going to the U of M, but IF and that's a big IF - if they accept him he might change his mind.

Bob and I went as Waldo to our friends party, the kids did NOT know who we were. Who raised them kids? I didn't know there were people out there that are not Waldo fans. Anyways, Jim does a great job taking the gang through the neighborhood. Check out the trailer the ride around on. The die hard kids made three trips around the nieghborhood.After the party we came home and passed a cop car parked close to our house, she was waiting for back up. We passed a couple of young adults stumbling down the road. It looked like someone was having fun!

We decided to unwind in the hot tub. Shortly after we got in we heard sirens begin. At first we were thinking, "Thank goodness, it wasn't us getting a ticket." The sirens continued to circle the block, more and more cops circling with sirens. our thinking changed to "Uh Oh, someone must have been having a good party." Shortly after the helicopter was over the neighborhood, searchlights were going through the trees..... "Whoa.. maybe we better lock the doors!"

It turned out the neighbor 3 or 4 houses down had a party get out of control. Over 300 people showed up to his party - thanks to facebook. A few people who were not invited started scrappin' with broken bottles. Three people ended up being taken in for stabbings. The police released dogs to catch those who were escaping through the woods. An innocent runner had his arm mauled by the police dog. And we still haven't heard if the guilty parties were found.

All this in our quite, rural, neighborhood. To think we moved out of the city for this!

Well - Happy Halloween. Stay safe!
