Happy Halloween!

It was a beautiful night for Trick or Treating!  Alex went out with some school friends that also live in the neighborhood and Will went out with friends near South Portage Little League.  Phil and I stayed home to pass out candy - despite a lot of trick or treaters out in the neighborhood, not many ventured all the way down the block to our house.  

 

Fall Fun

We had a relatively quiet weekend. On Saturday, Will reffed a game at Wings West at 12:30 and Alex played in a game at Wings West at 1:30. Afterwards, we went to Schultz's to get pumpkin and go apple picking. On Sunday, we went for a nice long walk in Al Sabo, did some yard work, and carved our pumpkins in the evening.

 

Boo in the Soo 2024

Phil and Alex were in Sault Ste. Marie this weekend for Boo in the Soo. They left on Thursday evening and drove to Mackinaw City. Then they got up on Friday morning to drive the last hour for their 11am game. After their first game, they went into Sault Ste. Marie for lunch, visited the Tower of History, and watched a ship come in the Soo Locks. After their second game on Friday, they had a team dinner at the hotel. On Saturday morning, they got up and went exploring along the coast of Lake Superior. It was a rock hunter's dream! After their 1:45pm game, they went to a team dinner at Soo Brewing Company where they sat on the roof top deck and saw another ship go through the locks. They played their final game Sunday morning and then they stopped at Castle Rock and the bridge for some photos.  Alex scored his first goal of the season with a shot from the blue line.  I also included a fun time lapse video one of the other moms took.  Boo in the Soo is definitely one of our favorite tournaments!

 

Tsuchinshan-ATLAS Comet

We were able to see the comet from the park tonight.

 

Hockey in Traverse City

Alex had a league hockey game in Traverse City on Sunday.  He and I decided to drive up after his game on Saturday (KWings defeated Belle Tire 4-2) to stay at the cottage for the night.  We picked up the Hofmeyers and had dinner at Oaky’s.  After breakfast at the cottage, Alex and I went to Pirates Cove to play a quick round of mini golf before heading to the rink.  The Hofmeyers came to the game and saw the KWings win 8-1.  

 

Northern Lights - Amazing

We had an amazing light show tonight. It started faint to the naked eye but by 10:15, the sky was pink and you could see pillars. It was very cool to experience.
