Halloween and the Manitou Incline

Getting ready for the Halloween parade

We started this weekend with Anna refereeing. Then I picked her up and drove her to Cheer practice. My car was being rented on Turo so I decided to rent a Tesla Model 3 for the day. Mainly because Jude and I were booked in to do the Manitou Incline (hiking 2,000 feet in elevation in around a mile – 2,768 stairs).

So after we dropped Anna off Jude and I grabbed some lunch and then drove down to Manitou Springs in the Tesla. It was so much fun to drive, it was the performance model and it was the fastest car I have ever driven.

It was a gorgeous day, 68 degrees and sunny, and Jude and I had a great time on the hike. Jude made it to the top in 31:56 and I tool 46:21, the fastest time I have done.

Halloween arrived today as a cold and cloudy day. While the kids still like Halloween they are not as super excited about it as they once were. Still, they got dressed up and did a little trick-or-treating.

Our block did another afternoon Halloween parade and we laid out the candy on the ground in our front yard (like we did last year). We were done by 6 pm and there was only a couple of trick-or-treaters that came by in the evening.
