We celebrated Emma's coming home from Russia
Of course we decorated for Halloween:
Jackson continued to play on his middle school team and his club team. Here the boys are wearing Ronald McDonald House socks to show their support.
Jackson's middle school team ended up being conference champs and then played in the county wide championship game.
They ended up winning the championship in penalty kicks. So many students stayed after and rushed onto the field. It was a really neat experience for Jackson.
On October 24, 2015 Jonathan's first cousin, Jordan, passed away from injuries sustained in a car accident. He was only 28 years old and such a sweet soul. We were on our way to the airport to fly to Puerto Rico when we first learned of the accident.
Jordan was a musician and song writer. This was written just days before he passed away.
We spent 4 nights in Puerto Rico celebrating with friends for their 20th wedding anniversary. It rained every day, but we tried to make the most of it. We were heartbroken the entire time though.
The guys all wore tuxedo T-shirts on the plane. They got quite a lot of attention. It was really funny.
The resort was very nice. They have just teamed up with Margarittaville.
Our resort backs up to a rainforest so we spent some time there our second day.
Our last full day we drove into Old San Juan. It is absolutely beautiful. I love the old blue cobblestone streets.
We also toured the oldest and largest fort in PR.
We then went through the Old San Juan Cathedral. It was beautiful.
We lit a candle for Jordan.
We then had lunch at the home of the pina colada.
I had the chicken Mofungo...
Never a dull moment with this crowd. :)
The Friday before Halloween, the youth academy soccer had a Halloween dress up tournament for fun. Emma's team was FIRE. Emma won first place for girls in her age group for her costume. Mimi painted the shirt for her, and I made the tutu.
For Halloween, Emma dressed up as an Eskimo girl. I surprised her and got a matching costume!
We had our 2nd annual potluck dinner/trick or treating down the street...
Halloween is always a fun time!
