Later fall 2019

 Tessie received a big boo bag from her friend Luke

 Stealth booing outfits

 All of our costumes this year were black

Erin's Mayor's Cup race in Franklin Park ran through this bear enclosure from the old zoo 

Erin was 10 years, 11 months old but got to run with the 9-10 year-olds. This year she has conquered her nerves about running. Her team came in 2nd and she finished #10 with a time of 7:38 for the 1.1 mile course.

 and afterwards a tooth came out


 Tessie and Mommy visited Florida to check on Nana and Grandpa

 Tessie's pal Riley

meanwhile Dad and the girls ziplined,

enjoyed the greenhouse effect in the porch,

and learned how to operate power tools 

 45 ain't so bad

 Sculpey gifts from Caroline and Erin

On a rainy day, the girls busted out the chess board 

We visited Grandma and Grampa and at the local orchard they were handing out free pie samples 

 Grampa gave a tour of the junkies cabinet and explained why Frito-Lay makes Pepsico a great stock to own. "Everybody loves junkies"


Erin's last meet of the season was the USATF New England Regional Junior Olympic race in Rhode Island and it was a cold day. 

For this race Erin ran with the 11-12 year-olds for the first time

Her time of 12:53 for the 3K was a personal best and her team took 2nd place. The team qualified for the Northeast Regional meet on Long Island, but we decided against schlepping down there. (The team finished #1 in that regional qualifier and then went to the national championships in Madison, WI. Brr! They finished #9 in the Junior Nationals)
