Halloween 2018

The festivities started the weekend before at one of the best Halloween parties ever. I'm Smartie Pants in the middle and the young lad Grim Reaper-Roberts is behind me. Props to the Harry Potter family for looking amazing. If only Malfoy would get in character...

 

Savannah carved us up a lovely Mac Ride pumpkin.

Preparing for the Ave chez Zolbrod - a lovely tradition. 

 Our blue haired witch (from Into the Woods) along with her mates.

The Ave itself is always fun - seeing the little ones dressed up, and an early candy hit never goes wrong. Team V and Nana were out to cheer us on. Miraculously, it stayed dry.

Here is the pup who should have won first place - Nocho as Fluffy from HP. Three heads, homemade. Legendary. Nicole is, of course, Fawkes.

 The Candy Rapper and Rocket were in fine form, and Rocket took home 2nd place in the dog costume competition. Do we have a show dog on our hands!?!

Heaps of candy was then collected in the Uplands - bags and bags. Glen and I are still stealing it from the kids' boxes...

YVR - Braces are OFF!

A weekend in Vancouver was a brilliant chance to hang out with Jose and family. Jose cooked up a storm and hosted our MBA dorks for a lovely gathering. So great to see the gang.

We had a great time on the trails. Savannah is our wee mountain biker these days, and Rocket's close behind as best trail dog in the universe- even if the North Shore features were a bit intimidating for him.  

 
 

Obi and Rocket - what a team!

Oh yeah - we were over to visit Sav's orthodontist. Her braces are OFF!

Kelowna with Shark and Ty

I was spoiled rotten by the Queen of Dorks, Shark Wood, and her awesome hubby, Ty-man. We rode the yummiest of trails, ate the yummiest of foods and drank the yummiest of wines.
The October weather delivered. And so did Shark's bike (thank you, Shark!)

 
 

I don't think I'm suppose to share this picture. But we laughed until we cried during the saucy shark photoshoot. I had to capture a smidge of the hilarity. 

Nothing like quality time with best mates and a break from work and soccer Saturday to prepare one for a busy Fall. It was amazing. 

Heshy

Never miss a chance to embarrass a bestie on her birthday!

 

Soccer - So Far, the Watching Weather has been GREAT!
