Halloween 2008

Carissa and I had a blast this year at the Fall Festival at Highview East. I volunteered to work a 30 minute rotation on one of the bouncie slides when it first started and then she and I had plenty of time to meander around, play games and fellowship with friends. Our ABF had a really good turnout! I was so happy about that!

Rob was unable to make it since he was busy in LAS VEGAS! He spent 7 days there visiting friends, Camille & Wes. He had a fabulous time and I'm so glad about that. The Fall Festival was a little sad without him but I knew he was fine eating at the strip (eating only!!) or hanging out with Camille & Wes.

The best part of the evening was when Carissa won the girls bicycle! We were shocked! We had just registered about 5-10 minutes before they drew the name. Maybe that's the trick! Anyway, a good friend of ours and Children's Elementary Minister, Rachel, found me and then asked where Carissa was. Of course, she was on the bouncy! Once she finished sliding, Rachel told her to good news! (She wanted to tell Carissa before she told me. Wasn't that sweet?) Carissa's mouth fell open and she smiled so big! She had to call and tell her Daddy and he was so excited for her! It was tough not having him there to see it right away but pictures did help! We can't wait to take the bike over to the McLeroy's when it's warmer so she can learn to ride this bigger bike!
