group meet

first competition of the year – state qualifications for rhythmic, specifically for the L5 group routine. thankfully, were able to do it remote from the gym. ended up 2nd place for their level and age group, and more importantly qualified for the individual competitions in the spring.

Halloween

not too cold this year, which is great for trick-or-treating. 3 of us looped around the neighborhood, and called it a night once the candy bag got too heavy. hit a new spot for bar-b-que before heading home.
