Lucy and Soccer!

Lucy is one of the many superstars we have in our family.  She scored 2 of the three goals that were scored by her team. Pretty sure she had at least 5 shots on the goal that the goalie got. Lucy's team is the white jersey team. 



Go Lucy! Go!!

Lucy fights hard for the ball!


She runs really, really fast too!




One of the shots on the goal.

Soccer season is over for Lucy.  Her team never lost a game.  Can't wait to watch her next year.

The Pumpkin Pacer Tradition Continues

What a fabulous fall day.   The Pumpkin Pacer can be cold and wet.  Not this year!  
Frank posed as usual. Not that he had a chance not to.  
 My traditional picture with Dominic and my traditional editing the sports team on his cap.  Not sure why this year.  They were about 38 games behind the Dodgers!
It was a smaller crowd this year.  It was great weather so I am not sure why.  Still lots of costumes. 


 Dominic and Luca (his son).  Adorable.  Great parents, great kids.
 Dominic and Linea's little girl.  She was full of smiles.  Just happened to snap when there wasn't one.


 Off we go.

 The fall colors were something to see.  Seeing the colors change in fall never gets old.


 Hiding, Michelle and Sheila!



 Hiding Jackie but not Michelle.




 The one thing that is not at all pleasant about fall is the clean up from the falling leaves.  I say just continue to jump in them even as an adult and raking won't be so bad.

 Done! Short and sweet.
 The finish line.
 Luca! So cute.
 Michelle and Sheila finishing.


 Kat was faster than us!
 We have never stayed for the awards, raffle and costume judging.  I got more pictures so I was happy.  Easier to get costume pictures.  It was fun to watch.  We didn't win an award though.

 The girls gathered first for judging.
 Precious winner.
 Then the boys!
Then all the women.  We thought the zombie should have won but the deviled egg on the far end did.  We were not consulted.
 Dominic and Luca!
 The judging of the men.  Not as creative as the kids or the women.
What a great day to be outside enjoying life!  We did our usual lunch afterward.  I didn't take my camera into the lunch place.  Why?  Because I didn't want to.  Good friends, great weather and a gorgeous walk through Deer Park.  Life is Good!
