Since Lindee & her family weren’t able to be here for the family Halloween gathering, she and the girls came by one evening the following week after everyone had finished golf and soccer practice. I’d made a big pot of bean soup, and then they checked out the Haunted House and Trail. I got this one picture of Mal out on the trail. I feel like she didn’t like what was going on when I made this picture 🙂

Friday night after our festival at church, June spent the night with me. We got up early Saturday morning, and hit the road for Rock Hill to watch Charlie compete in his final cross country race of the season, what they called a Friendly Race, at Southpointe High School there in town. There really were only about ten or fifteen runners from each school, and it was a cold morning. We climbed to the top of the bleachers to watch, because you could see a lot of the course from there – and it was a VERY cold morning up there :-). I got this picture of Charlie in action as he was coming back in to the football field to the finish line.

After the race we went with Andrew, Jenny, Charlie, and Ellison to TJ’s for a yummy late breakfast, and then June & I headed to Charlotte to watch Clara play soccer. The match ended in a tie, but they played really well. Then it was straight to take June home so she could get ready for a Halloween party that night. Fun times.

What a fun night we had Friday night, when I helped pass out candy at the festival at church. June was there with me, dressed like a Pink Lady, to help with the games.

We had a really good turnout – I think they said 150 people all together – and I tried to get pictures of all of the children that I knew that came through. Here is Lee, who has been in the nursery and Sunday school with me since he was born. He is one of those kids that just belongs to the whole church :-). So cute.

Adam and his Sullivan Falcons teammates had one final consolation game to wind up their school year – and once again, Adam got in for the last couple of plays of the game. This time he was completely on the opposite side of the field from us, so just know that his is the helmet that is furthest away 🙂

Jenny took this picture afterwards. Love this kid.

Last Tuesday was the second and final day of Mallory playing in the state golf championships. She didn’t do as well as she had hoped, but still finished the tournament in the top half of the field of 88 golfers, and pulled herself back up to shoot her lowest score of the tourney on her final nine. We are so proud. Here are a couple of action shots – I didn’t get very many, or very good ones, at all.

Monday and Tuesday this week we were in Florence to watch Mallory compete in the State Championship, which she qualified for by being one of the top four golfers in the Upper State whose team did not advance to state. I didn’t get many pictures, but did get this one of her in action on the driving range before her tee time.

I’m not sure if it will show up on here, but we loved tht the back of the tee shirts had her name and school on it. Jeff had to have one for himself, of course.

The adults don’t always dress up for our festivities, but this year Addie came as Madonna & Lee as Bob Ross – strictly a 1980’s dream couple 🙂

Last Saturday was the All County Cross Country Meet at Northwestern High School in Rock Hill. I got this picture of Charlie after he finished the race with his best time of the year.

Last week was Adam’s last regular season football game, at Castle Heights Middle School on the other side of Rock Hill. He is now #54, playing offensive line. I did get this picture of him on the sidelines.

Then, for the first time all season, he got in the game! I was so excited I did not get good action shots at all, but he did a good job of blocking his man, and here he is watching as his teammate ran for a touchdown. Great job, Falcons!
