Life: October and still feeling new to this place

 

 

Rock Climbing competition.  First ever for the kids on at team- “ Pirate Gnarrs”.  Cole got 6th and Birch got 7th in their age group.  Cole needs three more arms for reach and Birch still working on mental endurance for the sport.  Great club in town with twice a week practice.  Next comp in Bozeman next weekend.  So cool to hear them use all the rock climbing lingo..

 

Happy Halloween.  No donkey pulls and we miss our Europeans take on this American tradition, but fun none the less.   “scored well mom in this neighborhood”.  Kids really into the house to house thing and Missoula is so safe no one worried about poison or razors in the candy.  Thank heavens the Halloween Fairy Witch came to our house and took the candy to give to kids in Africa ( left a small target toy instead!!!)
Thanks Mimi for Cole’s again.

Day of the Dead Parade in Missoula.  What a cool event.  Next year we are doing it up big time.  David totally in to this.  Cole’s class was in the parade because they made a giant roller print skeleton to carry.  So we walked it, watched fire throwers, watched a lot of white African dancers, and fell in love more with our new community.
