At her school Halloween social

On Friday afternoon Anna had her school social with a Halloween theme. This was the culmination of “Spooky Week” at her school where regular classes were often replaced with Halloween activities like pumpkin carving. Anna was not as in to it this year, she even said she missed her normal lessons.

Anna had cheer practice again on Saturday and Sunday and she reached another milestone yesterday. She had a private lesson after her regular practice and executed a “Roundoff Two” for the first time which is a roundoff followed by two consecutive back handsprings.

At the top of the Incline. Who is that tall boy?

Today, Jude and I did the Manitou Incline. It has been exactly a year since we last took the climb up 2,768 stairs (around 2.000 feet) in less than a mile. We both broke our previous records, Jude did it in 31:14 and I did 41:54, beating my previous best by several minutes.

Finally, I meant to publish this a couple of weeks ago but we have Anna’s offiicial 8th grade photo.
