A Down to Earth and Interstellar Halloween

 
Where, oh where, has the year gone?  It doesn't feel like November today (it's 74 degrees right now), but snow and cold weather is in the forecast.  SIGH!  The cold weather always makes us peckish, and the kids are now old enough to help satisfy those cravings.  Annabel has been checking out cookbooks from our local library, and we have definitely reaped the benefits of her studies.  Last weekend she made delicious homemade soft pretzels.  Um, yes please!

Halloween day was busy for us.  The kids and I drove down to nearby Fort Phil Kearney, site of the Fetterman Massacre.  It was interesting to learn more about our local history.

Later the kids did some COVID-friendly trick-or-treating around town.  This year they were Star Wars characters:    Raye and Kylo Ren.

On our way across town, we got a good view of the buffalo that live in our local park.  Jordan commented that "We really need a pet buffalo.  It would look so cool on our lawn."  Um, NO!

We rounded out the festivities with some good, old fashioned pumpkin carving.  The theme, again, was Star Wars.  

Happy Halloween from the Mandalorian and Baby Yoda!
