Church Halloween Party

Yesterday I went to A Halloween party for my church. Of course you had to wear your costume and I dressed up as a fairy. First I came early to judge the pies with the other young women. It was so much fun and the pies were really good. The young men judged the chili. Then after eating all that pie I decorated a car for the trunk or treat with the other beehives. My friend Veronica got tied up and was stuck in the back of the truck untill someone got her out. We put up spider webs, streamers, spiders, and glow sticks. Eventually I came back to eat some chili. There were over 20 chili's to choose from but I only had five of them. After eating I went outside to go trunk or treating (kind of like trick 0r treating but in the back of people's cars). I got a lot of candy and had loads of fun.

Band Competition

Yesterday  I had my first band competition at Garces High School. We did pretty good for our first time. I think we won second place out of about four bands. After we played our song (Montego Bay) we just hung out and watched other bands perform. We all ate lunch there and had a pretty good time. It started to get hot and that's when we were all miserable especially in our long sleeve shirts.

Halloween Candy

Last night my mom and I made some Halloween candy from some designs in a box. We made some fingers, pumpkins,bats,mummies, and spiders. It was really easy.We just melted some chocolate and put it in the molds.

Volkslauf

Last Saturday I ran a race called the Volkslauf. It is a 5k ( 3mile) run that includes a lot of mud. There were over 600 people doing the 5k and 2500 running the 10k. In my division which was 12 to 19  year  olds I took 4th place and 155th out of all 600. Not bad for my first time and being one of the youngest runners. My time was 57 minutes. I ran it with two Other Ladies that I tried to stay with but lost them after the 1st obstacle. The obstacles included running up hills of mud, climbing over and under things, walking over a log (like a balance beam), climbing a rope across a deep mud trench, swimming in mud, and walking in mud for a half of a mile. There was a lot more this was just a few of them. The volkslauf was a run to raise money for the marines to put on toys for tots. The marines actually run this course. They were here to help us, if we needed it. I only got help on a couple of walls.
