Halloween 2015

Halloween started slowly with hitting the gym in the morning and a quality nap, but soon it was off to ma and pa’s house.

With the traditional chili all ready for dinner, it was time for It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. A special night, so Des got his first bit of screen time, dancing with dad to the classic soundtrack.

Des was old enough this year to make the rounds to a few close neighbors for some light trick-or-treating (con botella).

Mom’s birthday

Desmond trying on his new helmet (it’s got robots on it!) before his first bike ride

So fortunate for the unseasonably mild weather this weekend, made riding in mid-July surprisingly enjoyable

Sitting in mom’s new Burley trailer, which barely weighs more than he does

After a half-hour in, Des is already asleep. An endorsement of the comfy ride? A better shot of the trailer-

Hard to tell with the lighting, but Des has his first case of helmet head

While Des may not be up for the ceviche yet, he will eat all of your avocados.
