Pumpkin carving

 Calvin grows pumpkins in our garden and in the fall we invite the grandkids over for an evening of pizza and pumpkin carving.

Jog a thon season in Reno

 One of the great things about having three of our children living in Reno is getting to see some of the smaller life events.  This year I got to see the Caughlin Ranch, Brown and Elizabeth Lenz elementary school jog a thons.

Caughlin Ranch was first. They had a strict policy of no visitors on the school grounds unless they are a registered volunteer.  So I registered to volunteer to cheer the runners.

Brown was next.  They run a much smaller course, but do dozens of laps.  Running is more fun with a friend.

Finally Elizabeth Lenz with a bigger track and open running policy, so both Jay and Leah ran a few laps.
