Happy Halloween yesterday. We had a backyard cookout and bonfire. Hot dogs, s'mores, a "haunted woods", light sticks, and "ghost stories" (AKA Julia telling a cheesy joke and my dad telling his riddles). My coworker Dawn teaches ESOL students at NOVA and invited them over. One did and he brought a friend. We played frisbee, and they roasted a hot dog for the first time. (The point was for them to experience American culture. We're going to invite them over for Thanksgiving dinner and possible the Christmas pageant at church. So fun.) So it was a wide range of people: my mom's friends, some random elementary school kids who love her, Dawn Soap and her student, us Long kids, Heather Stilts, and Leslie Graham Cracker. Then 20 of Reece's friends came over after FC won the bell! Oh and Jess Mauck! It was fun, I wreaked of smoke, and today I'm sick because of it (does that ever happen to you??!)

Leslie and I with glowsticks!

JMauck was in town!

Enjoying the fire.
