The couple at this house do it up right.  They have a talking Mr. Pumpkin who talks to the kids and tells really corny Halloween jokes.  They serve hotdogs, chili, punch and sweets.  What a great way to end our trick or treat adventure.

Jo Jo’s Last Day of Swimming Lessons

Today was Joanna’s last day of Swimming Lessons.  COLA (City of Lafayette Aquatics) is now using the SwimAmerica method of teaching kids to swim.  This month on Tuesdays and Thursdays  she has been taking lessons and Jeanne has been an instructor in the same sessions.  Joanna learned alot and is on her way to becoming another one of those fast Miller swimmers.  Here are a few pictures I took of her today.    Her instructors were Coach Sarah and Ms. Sherry.  Thanks ladies you made this a great experience for our girl. pictures 020-017 pictures 021-018 pictures 022-019 pictures 023-020 pictures 005-004

Last night our swim team had their Halloween Party.  Aimee’s group watched Monsters vs Aliens while in the pool.  Jacob’s group came in costume watched the It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown on the pool deck.  After the movie Jake’s group went outside to do their dry land exercises.  Jo Jo dressed up for the party too.   Thanks Uncle Danny for the use of the big blowup screen.  It was a great hit.
