First and foremost, JORDAN CAME HOME!!
The following weekend was Halloween, and we brought Cooper to the "Strut your Mutt" competition on base. He wore his ladybug costume, as you can see below. He even won the award for best trick! (Jordan taught him how to balance a treat on his nose, and then flip it up and catch it in his mouth on command.)
We dressed up for a Halloween party as well. I was dressed as a jockey, and Jordan as William Wallace. He had wanted to be a horse to go along with my costume, but we decided it was a little too last-minute to try to make a horse costume from scratch.
It's lacrosse season again!
Jordan is playing with the Cambridge University team. The picture below is after they played against the Slovenian national team.
Our old roommate Scotty came to Mildenhall! Scott lived with us when Jordan was casual at Travis AFB in California.
I suppose a couple of pictures from early November couldn't hurt either...
Our friends Daniel and Kirstie (and their girls Frances and Kassidy) invited us to watch fireworks in Lakenheath in celebration of Guy Fawkes day. Guy Fawkes was a conspirator who attempted to blow up the houses of parliament in London on 5 Nov 1605. Bonfires and fireworks are lit all around the country on and around 5 November in commemoration. It is said that some people celebrate that Guy Fawkes was captured, and others celebrate his attempt.
It was POURING rain that night, but we still managed to have a great time watching the fireworks.
The following night, we went to our friend Phil's restaurant in Bury St. Edmunds for a real ale tasting party/bonfire.
Oh my gosh how cute is Cooper Dog as a ladybug! We've been trying to teach Luke that trick forever but with no success.
ReplyDeleteYour Halloween costumes looked awesome as well. Hoping it was a lil less eventful than the Halloween party at your house 2 years ago ;)
